Motusbank, a subsidiary of Meridian Credit Union, has launched in Canada. First announced in February, a full range of banking and borrowing services are now available on its website, motusbank.ca. As an online-only bank, Motusbank can be accessed via its mobile app on the Apple App Store and Google Play.

The bank is currently advertising a 3.09 percent interest rate for closed fixed-rate mortgages with terms ranging from one year to five years; the same rate also applies to its closed variable-rate mortgages. Given the current crop of online-only banks, which offer many of the same services and advantages, Motusbank is making a direct play for home buyers who are shopping for the lowest rates and don’t want to spend time haggling. For everyday banking, Motusbank offers a no-fee chequing account, with unlimited debit, in-network ATM and e-Transfer...
