While bank failures are not a common occurrence in Canada, it may still be in your best interest to have more than one bank account. On today’s podcast, Joel Sandwith, our LIT in London, joins Doug Hoyes to discuss banking best practices, including how many accounts you should have, where to store your savings, and why it’s important to understand the right of offset if you owe your bank. They also explain how deposit insurance works and high-interest savings accounts. Tune in for an informative discussion and practical advice!
