Banking & credit

Chequing and savings in one account

The Manulife Advantage Account combines everyday chequing with high-interest savings, so the money waiting to be spent still earns while it sits. Your Investco advisor opens it and keeps it connected to your plan.

What it does

One account for spending and saving

Interest on every dollar

Balances earn daily interest instead of sitting idle in a low-rate chequing account.

No monthly fee

Everyday banking, bill payments, e-transfers and pre-authorized debits without a monthly account charge.

Feeds your plan

Pre-authorized contributions move money into your TFSA, RRSP or investment accounts on a schedule you set.

Who it suits

Households that keep a cash reserve and want it earning something without moving money between two institutions every month.

Anyone automating savings — contributions come out on payday, before the money is available to spend.

Clients who want their advisor to see the full picture, including the cash side, when reviewing the plan.
