A low-cost account is a Canada bank account that costs $4 or less per month.
In February 2001, an agreement was reached with the Canadian federal government,[1] which involved eight of Canada's major banks offering low-cost accounts to consumers, ensuring that every person has affordable banking.
The accounts have benefits that include free deposits, a free debit card, cheques, free monthly statements, and up to 15 transactions per month.
