It seems that every big bank across the country is raising their service fees to all new levels that are at the point of being ridiculous.  Sometimes it feels like it is more expensive to keep money in a big bank than to put it under your pillow. We need a secure place to put our money and we need to work with an institution where we are respected and more than just a number.  When it comes to mortgages, the service fees can be ridiculous and there seem to be so many costs to getting a mortgage, renewing a mortgage, making a down payment and more so that you feel like you are paying more on service charges than you are for your monthly payments.

According to a survey conducted by First Ontario Credit Union the average Canadian has been with the same bank for more than 15 years, yet more than 40% are unhappy with the service fees their banks charge them.  While many people are switching their main banking to credit unions, these institutions sometimes have higher interest rates on their financial products.  Credit Unions are usually tied to their communities and have a better public image than the big banks that seem to be always posting profits every quarter in the billions.  When it starts to cost you more and more to keep your money in the bank, it means that you need a change.

So where can you get a good deal on a mortgage rate, know exactly what your fees are going to be, and take advantage of low interest rates?

First, you need to do some research and find out where to put your chequing or savings account.  Thankfully, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada has published some great guides to help you.  In their “Choosing the right chequing account banking package” and “Choosing the right savings account”, they give you easy to follow and in-depth information about what to look for when you sign up for a chequing or savings account.  You also want to go somewhere that you feel respected and looked after.  We are all so busy working to pay our bills and looking after our families, that we often don’t realize how much money the banks are collecting in fees from us.  When you go into a big bank, do you feel like you are getting the best rate on your credit line, your mortgage or your chequing accounts? Or are you paying too many fees?

When it comes to a mortgage, you need to be extra careful.  It is easy to get talked into a mortgage package loaded with surprise fees that you didn’t expect before you entered the room to meet with your bank mortgage advisor.  You can also feel that you are there without any support and sometimes it is overwhelming when you are asked to sign in so many places without realizing exactly what you are signing for and how much it is going to cost you.
