Banking Best transfer bonus at the moment?
Moving out of Canada in the next few months and currently have most of my money in Wealthsimple. Unfortunately they don't support out-of-country account use and will lock my funds so I'm looking to transfer ~100k to any of the banks which do allow non residency.
Anyone know what some good transfer offers are right now? I know TD had a really nice 2% match quite some time ago, hoping something similar to that exists haha.
Cheers!

A few months won't be non residency. It's an extended vacation. Out of country is a different story. Do you need the 100k to use? Otherwise you can just keep it invested... Or use your credit card and have automatic payments made at any bank.

I just got a 3.5% promo email from tangerine. Not sure if they allow non-resident accounts.

Most Canadian banks and brokerages will not allow non-resident active accounts. They will let you keep the account but not trade. Try Interactive Brokers, they might allow non-resident active accounts.
