Looks like my post on Manulife One is not accurate as of today.

They are prime + 0.5% just like National Bank AIO. A few months back I think it was prime +1.5% so it looks like this was brought back in line. I have heard that they aren't as predictable with the rate and don't always stick to prime + and set it more arbitrarily vs National Bank who always set the rate based around prime and don't charge $14 per month which isn't a big deal when you are paying off your mortgage based on daily interest and saving thousands if you structure things properly.
Manulife has a rate set specifically for that account. It was at prime for years, until about November 2008. I think that the spread was at about 1.5% at one point and since then while prime has increased Manulife has not followed with these increases every time.
