What is a GIC?

You entrust a sum of money to the bank for a specific period of time—terms range from 30 days to 10 years.

Your investment earns you interest and the original amount (principal) is 100% protected.

Perfect if you are looking to:

Guarantee your original investment
Invest in a low-risk option
Get a guaranteed return on your investment
Take advantage of market potential
