Webbroker (online trading platform) is admittedly getting old, however it is getting updated within the next couple months here.
Another thing is that we offer "washing" of us trades in RSP accounts. Because basically nobody allows US dollar RSP's account, we'll "wash" your us dollar security trades with US MMKT so there is no f/x conversion, which i don't believe anyone else offers.
Also there are no account fees (except in registered accounts), and no minimum balances. Want to open an account with $1000 and buy a mutual fund? Go wild! No fees whatsoever. (Except regular MF MER's and such)
Not to mention we have some crazily awesome cool stuff coming out soon that i can't talk about here, but that no other DB in canada is going to have that comes even close.

Yep,
This is an old thread from May. E-trade was acquired in July. Was also surprised to see BNS buy up Sunlifes stake in CI recently
I found Sunlife to be a better big brother for CI but I guess they have other balance sheet issues to take care of and BNS is trying to bulk up in wealth management...
