Non-Redeemable GICs
What is a non-redeemable GIC?
When you buy a non-redeemable GIC, you agree to invest a certain amount of money for a set length of time (term) to benefit from a fixed interest rate. When your term is up, you can either cash in your GIC – and get your initial investment back plus interest – or renew your term and keep growing.
A low-risk investment
You are guaranteed to get your initial investment back, plus interest, at the end of your term.
Stable growth
Your interest rates are consistent for the length of your term, no matter what the market is doing.
Competitive rates
Save for the short-term or invest for the long term with our competitive rates.
Is this Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) right for you?
Right for you if you:
- Prefer a low-risk investment with principal and interest rate guaranteed
- Agree to not withdraw your funds for the length of the GIC term
May not be right for you if you:
- May need access to your investment prior to maturity
- Are willing to give up a guaranteed rate of return and principal protection in exchange for the potential to earn more
