Overview
Neo's chequing account has no monthly fee, no minimum balance, unlimited transactions and free Interac e-Transfers, and it pays cash back on gas and groceries, which most chequing accounts don't. It's online only, with no branch to walk into. A strong everyday account, especially if you also use a Neo credit card.
