加拿大银行概况Banking in Canada

加拿大5大银行分别是：Royal Bank of Canada（RBC、加拿大皇家银行）、Toronto-Dominion Bank（TD、道明银行）、Bank of Nova Scotia（Scotiabank、加拿大丰业银行）、Bank of Montreal（BMO、满地可银行）和Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce（CIBC、加拿大帝国商业银行），总部全部位于多伦多。

第6大银行National Bank of Canada （加拿大国家银行）总部位于蒙特利尔，但规模和5大银行相差甚远。

HSBC Canada（加拿大汇丰银行）则是加拿大第9大银行，另外中国银行和中国工商银行都在加拿大有分行从事零售业务。

加拿大的主要商业银行储蓄利息几乎为0，很多还要收取账户管理费，所以如果你想要储蓄有利息可拿，一定要去专门的网上银行存款。

网上银行指的是没有柜台门面，专门在网上运营的银行。他们和大银行受到同样的严格监管与存款保险，安全性完全不是问题。每一类存款都有10万加元CDIC保障，即便银行倒闭也会及时得到全额补偿。网上银行运营成本低，所以可以用优惠利率提供给消费者高息存款与低息贷款。

加拿大最成功的高利息网上银行就是EQ Bank了，活期利率高达1.25%（大银行为0），没有任何账户管理费和交易手续费，非常适合用来进行高息存款和低息房屋贷款。

点这里在EQ Bank开户可获得20加元奖金（开户后30天内需存入至少100加元）
