Neo Financial Relaunches Canada’s Top Rated Savings Account as Neo Money

WINNIPEG, Manitoba & CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Neo Financial announced that they are relaunching their top-rated high interest savings account as Neo Money. With Canada's ‘Big 5’ banks limited by outdated technology and infrastructure, Neo Money is the first account of its kind to bring the features of chequing and savings together.

Neo Money reflects what you can do with the account: spend, save, and earn interest, all in one place. With Neo Money account holders can:

• Access one of the best interest rates in Canada, earning up to 130x^†* more than traditional banks.
• Set up automatic bill payments
• Get payroll deposited directly into a Neo Money account
• Transfer money between accounts with no-fee bank-to-bank transfers
• Send unlimited Interac e-transfers without any hidden monthly or annual fees
• Never have to worry about monthly fees, transaction limits or minimum balance requirement

“Neo has always challenged the status quo of banking - questioning why the ‘Big 5’ banks operate the way they do today, and what if we could do things differently. Neo Money is just one example of how our team is reimagining Canada’s financial infrastructure, and building a new future of banking that provides better value, opportunity and convenience.” said Andrew Chau, Co-Founder and CEO of Neo Financial.

Neo Money offers a fully digital experience that allows users to manage their account from their device, eliminating the need for traditional bank branches. Neo’s app tracks interest earned daily and deposits monthly in users' Neo Money account. As one of the only accounts in Canada that offers unlimited free transactions, Neo Money is a centralized account for individuals to manage their finances.
