LOL. Couldn't be further from the truth. The average Wealthsimple client holds about $10k with them. These neobanks are solutions for clients that mostly no one wants.
@@FinancialFreedomLifestyle those who have money, aren't switching to these solutions. I do believe that disruption is needed in our banking system, however, I believe the disruption will come in the form of higher levels of service and more client connection. Old school banking.

We absolutely need more régulations and controls on this mini banks. It's important to keep our bank system robust and not having banks who will be bankrupt like in the US
Banks have been flubbing for my entire adult life, why not just do it myself. Also my bank called me simple minded despite me making more with fun money on wealth simple than they have with 80% of my portfolio :/
EQ has been around longer than Wealthsimple. Canadian investment sites have mentioned them as options for years. Other than the trading platform, what does Wealthsimple offer you that excites you about them?
Banks only did that by direct order of the government (during the truckers thing). They aren't above the Government unfortunately. Blame the governments, not the banks
Doing all your banking online is a terrible idea: just take a quick look into what governments want to do with CBDCs and you’ll understand why cash is king
@@himynameis294you loose money to inflation by doing that instead of keeping it in a high interest savings account or investing some in something as simple as a market tracking etf or index fund. Hell, if you're scared that one bank in particular will suddenly run off with your money and, by some miracle, the Canadian insurance inherently attached to all bank accounts fails, then just spread your money between different banks.
Title of the video has a typo. Says "nebanks". Just a friendly heads up to make the edit to "neo"
I wondered what a nebank was.
Wealthsimple is by far the future of banking in Canada.

only issue with online banks was applying for a mortgage, process was a nightmare
Go through a mortgage broker

This seems more like advertising for eq than a broader discussion of neo banks

Try to synchronize your audio and video, it makes watching the video look more professional and less like a poorly dubbed kung-fu movie.
I keep my Scotia account just for the line of credit
Wealth simple is pretty straightforward. I don't know anyone with EQ.

I used EQ to move money into WS 😂

I love wealthsimple
What do you wish was better about it? @@codechartreuse
Will they freeze bank accounts based off political opinions? If no then they are many steps ahead.

neo bank? I remember the commercials for one 25 years ago. Orange bank or something like that.

Yeah keep it under your mattress.

Credit unions are better than banks
Screw traditional banks.
