Tangerine – Café de Montréal

I went here today to open an account. The receptionist Neila was not very friendly, in fact I m new to on line banking and told her I wasn’t sure how it worked and she said: well everythings pretty self explanatory. If that was the case would I have come all the way downtown to get info? I found her rude and not helpful and left more confused than when I went in. Thanks for nothing!

Is this a bank? Or is it café? The answer is that it is both! Tangerine is a new «Forward Banking» mobile bank that have no bank fees and is under the subsidiaries of Scotiabank so you can use any Scotiabank ATM for free.
I enjoyed my visit here today, as my friend recently referred me to open an account, I did so and we are going to both have a bonus of $ 50! (I think this offer ends end March, usually you get $ 25 for referrals.)
When I walked in, I was greeted by a nice gentleman who offered me a cup of espresso while I was activating my new account. It’s not a traditional bank so they don’t take cash deposits, and everything was done on an iPad. As seen in my photos, everything in their is orange and you can also come in and talk about banking and enjoy their espresso — they grind their espresso beans and it’s quite strong. Coffee is completely free, so feel free to come go in, save money on banking and enjoy some good customer service.
Message me if you have any questions!

Very easy to use as an online bank, good smart phone app and web service. Went to the café one time because I was having problems; they just connected me to the phone help (which I could have done anyway)
Friendly enough staff but I have yet to find a reason to go back in person.
