Laurentian Bank of Canada (TSX:LB). Down 10 cents, or 0.31 per cent, to $31.88. Laurentian Bank is preparing a digital push, including a high-interest online chequing account, as it looks to attract more deposits and reach customers outside Quebec.

Within the next couple of weeks, depositors will be able to open a chequing account with a three per cent savings rate online.
