I don't make tonnes of trades but Royal Direct is just annoying me to no end. Phoning them is a game of roulette, its like bartering for a trinket in Mexico. Don't tell me what you think I want to hear, just the truth.
Also, RBC is just always brutal. I have phoned them about a mortgage twice in the past month to be sent to some person's voicemail, left messages both times and never had them returned.
Opened a bank account for my kids hockey team with them. Just brutal.
What I want is
- Not a foreign based helpline/traders. Have to be Canada based.
- Low fees obviously. Zero monthly fee for sure as currently.
- Ease of access to money, both going in our out.
- Would prefer something not obscure, like a known bank.

TD Waterhouse (now TD Direct Investing) meets all these. Great website. Well integrated with their banking platform so you can transfer stuff back and forth. $9.99 trades. Canada based call center. Far better than the ScotiaDirect crap I have to deal with for my wife.
