Wow, this is stunningly thorough, thank you! I will be looking into each of these. If you were going to pick just one institution to work with, would you steer away from any of the options you mentioned? I would consider working with multiple, but the short-term move will just be a new account for my paycheque direct deposit and general daily banking.
I'm also curious about moving money between Tangerine and EQ: Is that like based on interest rates?
Happy to help! If I had to pick just one it would probably be TD or Wealthsimple (with Tangerine as the runner up). TD because of the All Inclusive account that has no fees with a minimum balance of $5000 and a bunch of extra perks like a pretty great premium credit card. Wealthsimple because it's the hands down best investing option (highly recommend visiting this website for guidance). Tangerine is close but I just can't fully stomach their security and how they don't implement some ease or use features (most other banks I've experienced have them all so they have no excuse).
Moving money between EQ and Tangerine really only nets an extra few hundred per year at most, so it's not super worth it honestly. I do it because I like the little bit extra. You're correct there, I move it only when Tangerine offers a promotional interest rate for their HISA that is higher than the HISA at EQ.
