Ive been with Oaken for 10 years. No serious issues whatsoever. Didnt give them 5 stars because they are not perfect. But still much better rates than the others so Im sticking with them

No problems...cash being transferred
I called to transfer tax free savings, and the agent said he would transfer money and I don't have to do anything. Transaction did not go through..
Because agent was not trained on registered accts...he should have told me to fill out papers and send back to Oaken.
Agents were all very nice and helpful.
I will be transferring more funds soon.
All in all I think Oaken is a good company and will do more business with them

One of my RRSP have been missed place . It has been a Number of days that they have been trying to find it so I’m not too happy
One less star for not having TFSA Cash accounts
This is a great company I would have given it 5 stars if it would have TFSA cash accounts.

I was looked after by an agent in a very professional manner and together with a very attractive interest rate for the GICs is what attracted me to Oaken Finacial.
Thank you,

Your office agent in Vancouver.
Your Oaken representative, Mr. Epi Xiao was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. He is an asset to you company. Recently I phoned your 1-800 number to discuss a few matters. My questions were answered promptly and
clearly.

Website not always user friendly
I wanted to buy GICs once logged in my saving account and it was not clear on how to proceed from the options available to me. I had to send an email to Oaken and they told me that I had to proceed with opening a new account and selecting the option GIC. I have other saving accounts with virtual banks and it was more user friendly to buy GICs from my saving account.
At least they should explain the process in the Q&A section of the website

Why does Oaken NOT offer a simple TFSA savings account option at the same Quebec leading interest rate. Your current offering is ONLY for GIC's. As a senior with health problems I need to access right away MY MONEY if I have yet another sudden event.

The rates are good
The rates are good, it was a little hard to sign up, the phones are always busy, it was worth the time spent.

Fantastic rates
Fantastic rates. Appealing interface. Quick set-up.
I would give it five stars but the lack of an RRSP savings account where you can park your money when GIC matures (like what EQ Bank has) would really elevate the experience.

Excellent customer service
I organized this GIC for my mother. The staff was friendly, patient and terrific with their help in assisting me with migrating funds from the paltry low-interest saving account my mother had at her regular bank over to Oaken (literally 4 x the interest). They also helped me migrate funds from another credit union to open an RRSP GIC at Oaken. Unlike the financial institution I was with, Oaken has an office here in Vancouver which made it much easier to get help in-person with these transactions.

Very good overall
The rates are above average. Money transfers worked well. Website is ok. GIC purchase is easy.
Statement numbering is a little confusing: the statement containing the January activity is called the February statement and so forth.
