Maybe things have changed now. Do you have good experience with freedom and kodo?
Also regarding checking accounts, do they go thru a credit check, or its just really simple to open it without any scrutiny. HSBC is racist, they didnt open an account for me because I wasnt chinese. I am not kidding, I went in branch with the same story i did for CIBC, RBC, BMO, etc and they refused me.
| I just use Fido and Bell, the latter through a work perk.
About checking accounts, they do a soft credit check.
For your issues with HSBC, do you have a problematic credit score or issues? |

opening bank account has nothing to do with credit score. |

| Here in Canada, opening a bank account will not affect your credit score but they do a soft credit check (if someone checks their score the day after opening a bank account, it will show up) - I have done this numerous times and it shows up.
Now, most of the time there is no issues and, in fact, if your score is good, the bank will offer overdraft protection. However if your score is bad or you have issues/bankruptcy etc, the bank can refuse to do business |

| This was years ago, I have pretty much exhausted all big banks, and moved onto creating accounts with credit unions. They are a huge pain in the ass. |
