Closing accounts

Pretty sure I don’t need to explain why at this point.

Has anyone here switched from a financial institution in Canada to another? How was the transition, smooth, not smooth, etc.

I use Scotiabanks ITRADE app and own several companies shares that I do not want to sell. I trade out of a TFSA. This account and the money and shares inside of it are my biggest concern.

Anyone here have any advice, or knowledge about this? Also leave other bank recommendations.

Thanks
