I work for Scotiabank. It is a mess. The bank provided us little to no direction on the TFSA. There is not a lot of info out there but the bank did a very poor job informing its people hence the confusion for the client. Agreed… I work for Scotiabank. It is a mess.

The new guy at the Granville@70th branch (Vancouver) told my wife that a TFSA saving account will pay only 1.75% if more than 5k. But if you look at the website it looks like, if you are already a customer, you can transfer all you money with them (savings, GIC, mutual funds, etc) to the new TFSA at the same rate. I called the 1-800 scotia number and the girl told me that I was right, that everything can be transfered, then she said wait a minute, everything but the power saving account (rate 2.6% year), then again she said no, wait, my collegue here is telling me that you need to open a new Saving account called TFSA saving account that pays 1.75%....everybody seem to be confused at Scotiabank Scotiabank is a total mess of confusion.
