My experience with the mortgage "specialist" was not the best... I'm very new to the process and was really trying to know how much I can afford and ask about what the process is with the new mortgage incentives.
The person I had the appointment with was 20min late
she wasn't really fully with me (checking her email for a deal and answering phone calls) .
She told me that the incentives were available although it was too early since they only take effect in September (only found out this today)
Everytime I ask a question she talks to me as if I'm trying to cheat the system or something ... I'm only trying to understand what I can do for my situation.

The manager never even addressed me. Unfortunately this is the closest bank to me which has safety deposit boxes available, I will continue to keep an eye out to see if other locations have one available so I can...
Read moreAbsolutely appalled with the ridiculous exchange fee I was charged to convert currency. On a 3.5K transaction I was charged over 10%. I phoned several times for an explanation since the fee was not explained when I signed off on it and nobody could explain how it was calculated. Bottom line is I feel like I've been robbed and completely forgotten despite my frustration. I have been a long time customer but to be honest, this along with several other issues I've had recently like the inept handling of my mutual funds and rrsp transfers And their lacklustre performance I am seriously looking for a new provider. Considering all the money I've handed over to this faceless corporation over the years being treated like a human and not just a source of revenue would be refreshing....
