Don’t Be Afraid to Make a Change is a timeless reminder that when it comes to managing your finances—especially your everyday banking—you shouldn’t stay stuck with fees, poor service, or inertia. Back in 2005, switching to a free banking provider was a radical idea. Today, it’s a financial no-brainer.
Whether you’re paying $15/month in service fees or simply ignoring better offers, the cost of not switching can add up to hundreds of dollars a year. This post encourages Canadians to rethink loyalty to the Big 5 banks and explore the growing list of free banking options—from online-only institutions to credit unions that offer full-service banking with no monthly fees. Making a change might feel uncomfortable, but the savings and convenience are worth it.
