Less bank fees. More life.

You can unlock free banking transactions with our unfee! Just set up a monthly direct deposit into your Basic Chequing Account.

With unfee, we’ll refund your monthly account fee and qualifying transaction fees on the first day of each month. That could mean more groceries... or an extra morning coffee.

Deposit Guarantee

All deposits guaranteed without limit by the Deposit Guarantee Corporation of Manitoba.

This means your money is safe with Cambrian.
