New to GICs?
A GIC is a safe, low-risk investment that functions similarly to a savings account. You deposit money into a GIC account, and that amount earns interest over time. The difference is, a GIC requires you to leave the money in the account for a specified period of time – a term. Upon completion of the term period, you receive the entire sum that you deposited, plus your earned interest.
**Annual interest rate. Interest is calculated daily, non-compounded and paid at maturity. Minimum investment is $500 (with the exception of the Step-by-Step GIC) and $100 for youth under 18 years old. Investments are non-redeemable. Available for new funds or existing renewals. Offers may change without notice at any time.
