A side-by-side comparison of ratings, customer experience, products, fees, and pros & cons to help you choose the right bank.
VS
Neo Financial edges ahead on our overall rating (4.5 vs 3.8), but the right pick depends on which products and fees matter most to you.
Overview
Neo Financial continues to stand out as a strong digital first alternative in Canada, offering competitive rates and no fee everyday banking products across its lineup.
Neo provides a high interest savings account with one of the more attractive rates in Canada, along with a streamlined spending account designed for daily use.
Its suite of credit cards includes both secured and unsecured options, with several no annual fee choices as well as premium cards that offer enhanced rewards. In fact, some of the credit cards offered are among the best in Canada. For example, the Neo World Elite Mastercard has earned the award for best overall cashback credit card in Canada, while the Neo World Mastercard Secured has received the award for best overall secured credit card.
While Neo’s products are offered separately rather than as a bundled account, they are designed to work together within a single app experience, making it easy to manage spending, saving, and rewards in one place. To unlock the highest savings rates and best rewards, customers may need to meet certain activity requirements such as maintaining balances or using Neo’s ecosystem regularly.
PC Financial offers banking services from President’s Choice Bank, which is a Schedule I, federally regulated bank in Canada. Given this setup, the banking products at PC Financial have coverage of up to $100,000 from the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC). EQB, parent of EQ Bank, acquired PC Financial in July 2026. Prior to this, the bank was a subsidiary of Loblaws.
PC Financial has a smaller offering than many other Canadian banks. It has only one main account that operates as a no-monthly-fee chequing account with the ability to add on a savings feature, giving you the best of both worlds. Its interest rate applies to all balances in the savings side of the account and is quite competitive considering there is no minimum balance.
The bank also has just a few Mastercard credit cards, with no Visa or American Express options. Lines of credit and mortgages are also not available. It lacks in business banking and insurance products as well, making it a better choice for those who don’t need a full-service banking relationship.
