George is back! Yay!! So far it's been a really good morning - lots of laughs, George seems relatively happy to be back, and we're all quite glad to see him (of course, he didn't bring us presents, so that gladness is dimmed somewhat)
As I was waiting in line at the grocery store yesterday, I picked up a pamphlet for President's Choice Financial. I've never really considered switching banks, but now I am. PC has no monthly rates, free cheques, free net and phone banking...makes me wonder what the hell I'm still doing at BMO paying $23 a month. Course it also makes me wonder what the catch is. What do they NOT give me that my regular bank does?
I cannot wait until payday. I've got $10 left in the bank. Lots of overtime coming my way though. Yay for overtime! Maybe I'll get my ears candled this week - I've been wanting to try it out for a while.

We're with PCF (and another bank where our mortgage is) and the only thing I don't get from it is being able to walk up to a teller and do things. But, if you don't need money orders or interact with tellers often, go for it. It's been pretty good and the fact that they have Pavillions in Loblaws (just in case) to handle things like adding accounts, replacing cards, etc. are awesome for me, since I have 2 within walking distance and 1 within driving distance.

I don't tend to deal with tellers that much. But say I needed a money order for something - can I get that at the store branches?

I seem to remember that you can order them online - not sure if you can stop in and pick one up at the booth or not. You could call their 1-800 number and ask, I'm sure. I usually just go to my other bank when I need one.
