Attention Fellow Savers !
SBI Bank Canada is offering a new USD savings rate promotion: 2.50% on new deposits to its USD Super Saver Account until December 31, 2019. The offer applies to new customers and existing customers who do not have a USD Super Saver Account.
With the U.S. Federal Reserve indicating an imminent reduction in interest rates U.S. banks are reducing their savings account interest rates. While the SBI Bank Canada offer is lower than the recent Tangerine offer, it is in line with the highest savings account interest rates currently offered by any U.S. bank !
If you do open an account make sure to maintain a minimum balance of $2,000 to avoid a monthly $12 administration fee.
As a reminder, USD deposits are not insured by the CDIC. For a primer on deposit insurance coverage in Canada, read our article.
The offer ends July 31, so you will need to move quickly to take advantage.
