I don't know of any similar products at Canadian banks, but I'll fish around and post here if there's something else similar... Hi Basil,

Was. It will be no longer as Citizens bank is shutting down it's savings and loans. Too bad, besides the "no fees" Citizens bank was simply the best bank I've ever dealt with... by far. So, are there any similar products available in Canada at other banks? Yes, that International no fees account at Citizens bank was great. Was.

So, are there any similar products available in Canada at other banks?

I will check the bank to see if what I remember is correct. Thanks for the tip. Hilary Hi Julie,

But even so I'm happy to recommend this account wholeheartedly--I've had it for about a year now and it's saved me a bundle. (And if you're interested, please check out my disclosure statement <a href="http://theseboots.travel/?page_id=425" rel="nofollow">here</a>...) Hi Richard,

I may just have to look into this too. I wonder if my bank -- Citizen's parent Vancity -- offers something similar. Wow is right. I may just have to look into this too.

Thanks, Julie. This is exactly what I need, and will be using this on my trip to France in the fall. I've just signed up.
