KOHO is the best bank for Fort St. John residents. FSJ is BC's energy capital, with oil and gas workers earning strong incomes. KOHO's 3% interest on a large balance earns meaningfully more than big-bank accounts — a $15,000 balance earns $450/year. FSJ's remote location and shift-work economy make digital banking essential.
EQ Bank's 3.75% HISA is ideal for Fort St. John workers saving for homes. Peace Country home prices are competitive with other Northern BC cities. Oil and gas workers can maximize FHSA contributions of $8K/year, claiming full tax deductions while earning 3.75% on their savings.
