I have a US Borderless account at Canada Trust, which includes free money
orders for $4.95 a month. (They charge $3.50 otherwise, same as the post
office.) I just did a quick look around to see what the other banks charge -
not easy to find! The only other account I saw to include them was a $20 one
at the Royal; the only other individual fee I saw was $5 at CIBC. Anyone else
have more info? I'll compile it, if you send it to me.
Cheers, Heather
