Has anyone had problems using their ING/Tangerine bank cards at retailers in town?

Once at the Superstore my g/f's card wouldn't be accepted by the machine, and the teller never seen one before.

More recently, the same thing happened at Longo's.

I was wondering if others have been having these experiences, and if they will continue since ING has become Tangerine.

I personally haven't had issues, other than puzzled looks.

Tangerine has way more issues (& less support) than ING ever did
But I never heard of problem using the debit cards (besides the obvious issues with losing access to Exchange network and deposit issues)

You get what you pay for, or lack of ;)
PC Financial is more reliable than Tangerine.
Same idea but better service I find.

The only thing I've noticed since the changeover was when my g/f sends me an email transfer, which is set up to automatically accept, after it has gone through successfully, I get an email alert saying that the session has expired since I didn't respond to it.
I didn't respond to the request because with her I don't need to.
It was confusing at first, but the money still goes through like clockwork.

Tangerine = scotiabank
PC = CIBC

Why would tangerine be any less reliable? If anything ING had minimal to no support in Canada.

I didn't know Tangerine is owned by scotiabank now.
Can you use scotiabank ATMs and don't get charged for it?
I know with PC financial you can use CIBC and don't get hit with a fee.

Mainly because new system so TONS of bugs on Scotia

But Scotia also did massive cuts (ING had far more support before they became Scotia's budget brand)

Interesting development on the ING to Tangerine/Scotia issues

Forward Banking is making a comeback
For those who were unaware, one of the main reasons for the ING Canada collapse came because Arkadi Kuhlmann had abandoned his baby to the corporate wolves
This week he revealed why
http://www.zenbanx.ca/home/

Today’s world is mobile; you can jump on a plane and go just about anywhere, but your money can’t follow as easily. ZenBanx will change that.
For someone who really enjoys traveling and really hates fiddling with paper currency, this could be a godsend.

A ZenBanx account will have two standout features for the user. The first is ZenRate, basically multi-currency holdings within the same account. Customers can earn interest in up to five of the nine currencies available at launch—actually twelve if you include CAD and USD. The others are as follows:

Australian Dollar
Chinese Yuan Renminbi
Hong Kong Dollar
Indian Rupee
Japanese Yen
South Korean Won
Philippine Peso
Singapore Dollar
Thai Baht
Taiwan New Dollar

Currency exchange is historically where normal folk get gouged by either our bank or the ICE booth at our local airport. But ZenBanx's commercial rates are surprisingly close to the trading rates at XE.com, which is pretty great!

The second selling point for a ZenBanx account is ZenPay, which allows the customer to send money (in local currency) to anyone in their phone's address book. ZenBanx has already prepared for the upcoming Chinese New Year, with digital lucky pockets ready to go.

They also include a proper debit card that you'll be able to use anywhere in the world. And if ZenBanx can skirt around those pesky ATM fees and international surcharges like ING Canada did then consider me sold. One more thing to consider: Lest you think ZenBanx is some shady startup that will disappear overnight along with your hard-earned money, your funds will be held by DUCA Financial Services Credit Union Ltd., and protected by the Deposit Insurance Corporation of Ontario to a maximum of $100,000 CAD.

For more on ZenBanx check out their coverage in today's Financial Post. And if you needed an invite you can PM me.

Still banking with them, and would still recommend them if anyone asked.
Make sure to look over what they offer and policies carefully to make sure banking with them would suit your needs best.

Moreover, that issue i mentioned earlier has long been resolved.
