USD accounts
I am looking to open a USD bank account just for a medium for transferring money from XE to an ING USD account or something. Is there a good one that is offered by one of the major banks in Canada?
I did some research:
TD - need $1000 minimum and get unlimited transactions, thing is, I'm not gonna ever have $1000 in the account
Scotiabank - $200 minimum, a bit better, but only allows 2 free transactions per month
Royal Bank - no minimums, but only allows 1 debit and 1 payroll credit monthly.
I am leaning towards the Scotiabank one. I'm gonna need to use at least 2 transactions monthly, one for XE and one for ING. With that said, is there something like Royal bank's account but allowing 2 transactions?
I also check Bank of America, but I need a direct deposit in order to waive the monthly fee. Any other suggestions/recommendations?
