Is ATB Financial Springboard Savings Account the best place for savings?
- Versus the top posted rate: on $10,000, 30 Day Notice Savings Account (EQ Bank, 3%) would pay about $250 more a year after fees.
- Tiers: the rate depends on the balance; the highest tier pays 0.6% from $250,000.
- Or lock it in: a 1-year GIC at 3.75% (Oaken Financial, posted November 2, 2026) would earn $375 on $10,000, against $50 here — but the money is locked in for the year.
