本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛I have a couple of bad experiences with them.
- I have a 3-year GIC maturing about 3 years ago in my RRSP account. They automatically renewed it for another 3-year term for 1.10% without my acknowledge, without sending me any renewal letter (I was partial responsible for this since I should take note for all my GICs myself). By the time I realized this, it was a already too late. So I waited until one week before it became matured again this Feb and called them I didn't want to renew it for another term as I was going to transfer the fund to my RRSP saving account - then transfer all the fund to another bank. Guess what, they renewed my GIC anyway, and I have to spend about 1 hour when I was in oversee to deal with them on the issue.
- I was trying to get some Japanese Yen for my oversea trip late Jan. Went to HSBC to check with their exchange rate. The rate posted on their website seems better than other banks. It turned out, their rate is not any better at all. Their quoted exchange rate is about about 2.75% over the market rate, another $10 service fee for transaction lower than $1000 CAD. What a joke!
At the end, I paid $75 fee out of my HSBC RRSP account to transfer the fund to other bank. Don't want to have anything to do with this bank for the rest of my life.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
