Lots of Canadians already give a large portion of their paycheque to Rogers.
Now Rogers is looking to just take the whole thing.
In 2011 Rogers applied to the Finance Ministry for a patent incorporating a “Rogers Bank”, and on Friday the ministry came through.
With that out of the way, Rogers will now seek to have its own branded credit card, and push mobile payments through their smartphones.
Of course any bank has to have bank accounts, meaning Rogers is looking to cut out the traditional banking “middle man” and just have their customers give them all of their money straight away.
I mean, why wait? Considering how much they are overcharging Canadians, and locking them into punitive long-term contracts, they’re going to get a lot of it anyway. (Full story here)
Or Canadians could chose to not do that, and instead shop around for services that make sound financial sense.
That’s “Bank Talk” for signing up for a Worldline service, like our Unlimited High Speed Internet Bundle over there that saves Canadians $600/year compared to a certain other provider.
$600 per year, every year.
Bank on it.
Since you dropped your phone plan from $12.95 to 9.95 are existing bundle subscribers going to see a $300 reduction on their Bundle Bill
Hey Wayne, the bundle price is the best deal in Canada because it includes the dry loop costs, unlimited high speed Internet and unlimited Canadian long distance. Combined that saves Canadians $600/year pretty much at a minimum. The Digital Home Phone at $9.95/month includes 200 minutes a month. Hope that clears things up.
