Anyone have experience with this? I plan to start one next week and slowly accumulate $US. I see that it is no fee with a $200 min Balance ... any experience?

Not sure about Scotia, but TD allows me to transfer from my CA account to the USD and vice versa online.The only think I don't like about the account is you can't make online payments with the account. You can write US dollar cheques from the account though.
I've had that tied in to my USD account, but cancelled it after a while. What I REALLY WANT is a Disney Rewards Visa! My Aerogold Visa and it's association with Air Canada really sucks!My only other wish is that Scotia would get a US dollar Visa/Mastercard.
I have a US account at Scotia and it's great. The only downside is that you are charged a fee (I think it's 2.5%) if you complete an on-line transfer from your Canadian account to your US account. I get around this by withdrawing money from the bank machine and depositing into my US account with a teller. No extra fees there...go figure!
I agree about the US Visa. It would be sooooo much easier. I have a US BMO Mastercard instead.

So basically that explains why when I tried to transfer money today ... I saw a rate of 1.05 .... which looked way too high! So the best method is to take CDN cash out and deposit through teller? Correct?
Thanks
