– ratesupermarket.ca
No matter when you get married (or make the big move-in), the topic of money will eventually come up. And it should!

Full details can be found here. Part of me thinks this is a plan by CIBC to garner a few new clients before they can’t promote themselves to the Canadian public as an Aeroplan partner and hopefully keep these new customers in their portfolio!
