A surprising answer to the question: Which big bank has the best mobile app?
The basics of a good mobile banking app are seamless and speedy log-in, modern appearance and easy navigation. According to a new J.D. Power customer satisfaction survey, the Big Five banks all deliver on these points. 'It's getting harder to tell the nation's banks and credit card company mobile apps and websites apart from one another,' the survey concludes. Do Canadian banks have a homogeneity problem? Their earnings and stock market performance certainly differ, but there's a sameness to the customer experience once you get beyond logos and colour schemes. App parity reflects this, but so other aspects of consumer banking. Does any bank do chequing, mortgages or investments demonstrably better than the rest? Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce took top spot in banking app satisfaction with a score of 641 out of 1,000, Toronto-Dominion Bank scored 631, Bank of Montreal and Royal Bank of Canada 626 and Bank of Nova Scotia 620. On credit-card apps, American Express led a larger field of competitors with a score of 692 and Tangerine was second at 669. After that, most competitors were bunched in the mid- to low-600 range. J.D. Power says banks have spent years maximizing the functionality of their apps within the limits of their current technology. The next frontier will be adding AI-based functions, which clients are encountering more in other aspects of their lives. I use a few alternative bank apps and haven't yet found any that crush the competition. But as we look ahead to open banking, let's not concede that all apps will be more or less the same. Open banking will allow bank clients to securely share financial data with alternative players. Let's see whether they can use it to build a better app. A surprising finding in the J.D. Power customer satisfaction numbers is that people like multi-factor authentication when logging into a mobile app. MFA can be a hassle if you're in a hurry. For example, you may be asked for a verification code sent to by your bank via text, or to use a fingerprint reader. Still, J.D. Power said overall customer satisfaction is 12 points higher when customers use multi-factor authentication before logging in. This shift reflects improvements banks have made in the usability of MFA, and an increased focus on security by bank customers.

Acquiring U.S.-made F-35 fighter jets will cost Canada nearly 50% more than disclosed, Auditor-General finds
The cost of replacing Canada's aging warplanes with U.S.-made F-35 stealth strike fighters is expected to cost nearly 50 per cent more than the estimate Ottawa provided Canadians, a report from the federal Auditor-General says. These findings arrive as Prime Minister Mark Carney's government is weighing whether to scale back Ottawa's order for the F-35s and instead buy European-made fighter planes to reduce Canada's reliance on U.S. military equipment. The federal government, which finalized a deal to buy 88 F-35 Lightning fighters from Lockheed Martin in December, 2022, said the acquisition would cost about $19-billion. But Auditor-General Karen Hogan's office said Tuesday it found this figure was based on outdated information and that by 2024, estimated costs had increased to $27.7-billion. The warplane replacement program also faces significant risks that could jeopardize the introduction of a new fleet of fighters, the Auditor-General found. Construction of two new fighter squadron facilities in Cold Lake, Alta., and Bagotville, Que., to accommodate the F-35s is more than three years behind schedule and the Forces are facing a possible shortage of qualified pilots, the watchdog said Tuesday. Trimming F-35 order could antagonize Trump as security and trade talks get under way: analysts Inflation, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and heightened demand for munitions are three factors have driven up the cost of acquiring the F-35s, the Auditor-General found. The Department of National Defence 'was supposed to closely monitor inflation and foreign currency exchange rates because of the potential impact but did not always do so,' it said. The Office of the Auditor-General said even the updated $27-billion-plus price tag for the F-35s does not include essential Forces infrastructure upgrades and advanced weapons that would add at least another $5.5-billion to the total cost of acquiring the fighters. Opinion: The solution to Canada's F-35 fighter jet dilemma? Buy both American and European aircraft Canada's current fighter aircraft fleet of CF-18s is reaching the end of its service life and must be replaced in a timely manner to meet operational commitments such as the defence of Canada and North America, the Auditor-General's office noted. CF-18s are the primary Canadian aircraft assigned to the bilateral North American Aerospace Defense Command and are supposed to be on continuous alert to respond to potential aerial threats to the safety of North America, it said. The CF-188 Hornet first entered service in the 1980s. The operating life of the Hornets has been extended through a refurbishment initiative known as the Hornet Extension Program, or HEP. CF-18s are supposed to be gradually withdrawn from service between 2025 and 2032 and replaced with F-35s. David McGuinty, the Minister of National Defence, said in a statement he takes the auditor general's findings seriously. He committed to updating Canadians regularly on acquisition projects and blamed the huge cost increases on 'external economic conditions driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, including global supply chain disruptions, workforce shortages, and increased inflation and foreign exchange rates.' The minister did not comment on the ongoing review in his department of whether to reduce the F-35 order. Shortly after Mr. Carney took office in March, he said Ottawa would weigh trimming its F-35 purchase plans to buy an alternative aircraft that would be more cost-effective and could deliver additional industrial benefits domestically instead of sending more dollars to the U.S.
