Tip: There are two ATMs in the lobby…read more I opened my RBC Royal Bank chequing account from this branch... well, sort of. It used to be on Academy Road. I briefly lived in River Heights before I moved to Osborne Village. This branch moved to its current location on Corydon Avenue, in a plaza. I recall going to an RBC close to me in Scarborough to get some Chinese Yuan (renmibi) before my trip to Shanghai almost a decade ago. The teller asked why I didn't change branches and declare this one in Scarborough as my branch. I didn't need to. I can still do everything that I need at any RBC branch. Certify a cheque? Yes. Get financial advice? Yes, both over the phone and at any branch. It's probably why I don't think it's weird that folks don't change their doctor or dentist when they move away. I still had my dentist in Winnipeg when I lived in Rochester, MN. I came back regularly. There was no need to seek a dentist stateside and establish a rapport again. Anyway, I checked out the branch last week. There was a ton of parking in the lot. I pulled into a spot and walked in. The last time I was here, I was getting my work RRSP transferred to a locked-in RRSP here. Although the branch with teller services was closed when I was here, it looked like the interior had changed. It looked nice. There were a couple of ATMs in the lobby. I used one to get cash. It worked great. I had no issues. It was nice returning to check out my bank branch where I get the occasional investment banking newsletter. (242)

Mogo is a company that offers a number of financial services. It is based out of Vancouver…read more This company offers the following services: - Mortgages - Loans - Stocks - Credit score help My friend was looking for a loan. Her credit isn't great. We both analyzed how she could get a Mogo loan. Mogo's site says that you can get pre-approved for a loan in three minutes after you sign up for an account. I found that to be odd. Wouldn't you want to get the pre-approval first and then decide if you want to say yes by creating an account? My friend originally wanted a loan for $10,000. She got approved for half that amount. It wasn't bad considering how poor her credit limit is. This loan isn't really a loan. It's more like a line of credit with a ridiculous interest rate of 47%. It's good if you are thinking of paying it off quickly. Payments are automatically deducted from your chequing account on your payday. You can make payments on top of this regular debit as often as you'd like. I don't like that you can only contact a Mogo representative through an online chat. It made the process for my friend painfully slow, especially if either person is slow at typing. Communicating details verbally would have been much faster. I watched her spend over 1.5 hours working with the representative on Saturday. Beware of optional services that Mogo adds to your agreement automatically. I read everything in my friend's agreement. Mogo snuck in a extra $55 of services in each payment. Why not take the time to share these details with customers and have them determine whether they want them? Forcing these optional services automatically as part of the loan agreement felt shady. I got my friend to tell them to take these optional services off. It wasted another day of effort. She got her new agreement today. She went with an e-transfer of the funds to her chequing account within 24 hours. It happened a few hours later. My friend was happy and relieved. I'm glad that I could help her out a bit. I used to live in Winnipeg. The first representative that we had said that it was cold on Saturday. I said that I used to live in Winnipeg, so I know what cold is like. We got a smiley emoji from this representative. He confirmed to us that the call centre is in Winnipeg. My friend's agreement stated a downtown Winnipeg location. Winnipeg is known for being a call centre hub, mainly because it's smack in the middle of Canada. It's decent to cover customers from coast to coast during regular business hours which are Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm, Eastern. This company is good if you need a short-term loan that you can pay off quickly. Beware of optional services that are added to an agreement by default instead of made mention during the application process. Read every detail carefully in the document. Otherwise, you'll be paying more than you already are to begin with. (53)

Eric Stewart is incompetent and does not keep up with tax law in Canada…read more He did not know in 2017 that the Federal government had removed the exemption for tuition fees: I had to tell him that fact and lo - it was true. Should have been worried then. He advised me I could claim a property expense exemption that was actually ILLEGAL, but only told me I might "attract the attention of CRA for making a claim for the sole purpose of saving taxes." I was NOT doing this {during COVID was stretched to pay for my own household and my children's) and believed the claim was LEGAL, as he did not advise otherwise. 3 years in, I am advised that these exemptions are NOT ALLOWED and now owe $10,000 in back taxes. As if I can afford this now or would have made the claim in the first place, HAD I KNOWN. Stewart has NEVER responded to my communications for help, and had ONLY replied to my recent Google review with "listen to your next tax provider carefully:" WHY? to unknowingly BREAK THE LAW? HE ADVISED ME to make these claims, during COVID restrictions, with a weak disclaimer that CRA might look into it if it was for good reason, NOT that it was illegal. He is INCOMPETENT and has no manners or integrity. BEWARE.
