Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) in my opinion has always been a bank that looks to lead the market, and they have done so. If you recall, in 2010, RBC launched Canada’s first financial management tool integrated into an online banking system. You will better know this system to be myFinanceTracker.
RBC continued to innovate as they launched a completely integrated Blackberry app that same year.
Today RBC continues to innovate as they launch the Learning Money With Leo app. This is the first interactive app that teaches kids about money.

McLean, VA, United States (AHN) – The average interest rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage loan in the U.S. declined over the weekend to 4.39 percent, according to Freddie Mac. It went down from 4.55 percent and is an eight-month low.
The drop came amid reports of faltering of the U.S. economic recovery.
Freddie Mac also reported that the average rate for 15-year fixed loan dipped to a record-low 3.54 percent from 3.66 percent.
A loan data firm explained that the two vital factors that influence mortgage rates are economic growth and inflation. The numbers given by Freddie Mac are indicators that the U.S. economic recovery is dragging worse than expected and shows signs that it may even be halted.

According to the National Association of Realtors, sales of previously owned homes went down in June to a seven-month low by 4.5 percent.
Experts are unsure if the Friday downgrade of the U.S. cre
