FAQs

What is a GIC or Term Deposit?

A Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) or Term Deposit is a safe and secure way to grow your savings. You deposit a fixed amount for a specific period and the interest rate is assured for the entire term. It’s a simple way to earn steady returns while keeping your money protected.

What is the difference between Redeemable and Non-Redeemable GICs?

Redeemable GICs let you access your money before the term ends, offering flexibility for emergencies. Non-Redeemable GICs do not allow early access, which can result in higher assured returns. Both types are secure and insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC), subject to coverage limits.

How long are the terms for these investments?

Redeemable GICs and Term Deposits can be opened for 1 to 5 years, while Non-Redeemable options offer terms from 1 month to 60 months. You can choose a term that fits your savings goals and plans.

What is the minimum deposit required?

For both Redeemable and Non-Redeemable GICs and Term Deposits, the minimum deposit is just CAD/USD 1,000. This makes it accessible to people who want a secure investment option.

How is the interest calculated and paid?

Interest on all GICs and Term Deposits is compounded annually and paid at the end of the term. This means your money earns interest on both your initial deposit and the interest already earned, helping your savings grow faster.
