Ask the pros.

Our pros with some advice on this term deposit.

When should I use a convertible term deposit?

The convertible term-deposit is meant to be a place to temporarily put money that you plan to invest so you can meet RRSP or RRIF deadlines. If there’s time before your deadline, talk to our investment pros to get the most out of your savings.

What if I want to invest longer?

Mutual funds* introduce risk but could potentially earn more than term deposits if you're investing longer than 5 years. The best portfolios include a mix of investments so you can get potentially higher returns and the access you need. Let's chat! Our professional advice is always free.

How do I withdraw from my term deposit?

To withdraw from a term deposit, please call us, visit a branch or send us a secure message in Online Banking with your request.

Term deposits have different conditions around withdrawing before maturity which will affect the interest you earn.

Non-redeemable term deposits cannot be withdrawn before maturity.
