NOTE: These rankings are based on data collected before June 1, 2020 and do not reflect changes which may have taken place since then.
A penny saved, as they say, is a penny earned. That’s certainly the case for Canada’s self-directed investors, who are embracing the ultra-low fees offered by online brokerages and turning those savings into higher investment returns.
While pricier full-service investment options provided by financial advisors and bricks-and-mortar firms have their place—as do robo-advisors with their affordable hands-off portfolios—DIY investors who want the greatest selection of assets at rock-bottom fees can’t do better than online brokers. Of course, with a growing number of online brokerage services now available in Canada, it’s hard to know which one is best for your needs.

Conventional wisdom may lead you to believe that if you have bad credit, you should swear off credit cards. But if you want to improve your credit score you’ll have to show you can handle credit responsibly—and the only way to do that is (you guessed it) to have a credit card. Used properly, it can actually be a helpful tool to assist in rebuilding bad credit—and, luckily, there is a whole host of products catered to people with poor credit scores. While these often come with higher interest rates and lower spending limits, they can be a good starting point to re-establishing a good credit score, which in turn will help you get approved for loans, a line of credit, or even a mortgage down the line.
