I have not wasted by time by standing in line at the bank for years and almost every transaction I need can be done online, including opening another PCF account - without even talking to a customer service rep! I also haven't paid a bank fee for a cheque, not maintaning a minimum balance, or interact transaction in years. Go PCF!

There is no pcf pavillion iin Quebec, so yes u do have to travel to open an acct but from there u can just use CIBC machines and PC machines( if there are any in Loblaws stores in Quebec?) ..... Personally , when it comes to fees and interest bearing accounts . .... PCF is the best .... if u dont use it as your main account , one is crazy not to have it as a secondary account.... why pay even more fees to bank at say, for example, BMO and RBC ???

I found it quite frustrating that they told me on the phone that they would not even mail an application form to an address in Quebec. dfstef: I would be interested to hear about your experience.

Changing info or accounts is now a drag as it means a visit to an Ontario Loblaws, but since I don't pay over $25 per month in service charges I put up with it. BTW, if you want better interest on savings accounts, try ING Direct. I live in Quebec in the Ottawa/Gatineau region, and I have a PC account that I opened when I still lived in Ontario.

I'm spoke to them on the phone, and the only thing seems that we can't apply online, I must go to Cornwall (the closest branch) and apply in person. Has anyone done this?

Although I asked to be put on a plan that would cost nothing monthly, there was still a $1 or $2 statement fee as well as a $2 cheque-return fee per month. I hate going in to the bank (the hours suck) so I never got rid of these fees. I let them go for a few months, then just decided to get rid of the BMO account altogether. I can get Canadian money orders at Safeway and for US ones, well I don't know where I'll go for that. I heard you can get them from PC though, if you'll willing to wait a couple days.
