This term deposit is great for:
People who travel to the US frequently, and tend to hold on to US cash. This USD GIC, aka term deposit, allows you to avoid exchange rate fluctuations when used in combination with a USD chequing account. That way it can stay in the same currency at maturity.

How it works:
Get a guaranteed interest rate as long as your money stays put until maturity. You can remove your money at any time but, if you do so before the maturity date, you won’t receive any interest, only your deposited amount.

The term deposit will automatically renew at maturity unless specified otherwise.

Our pros with some advice on this term deposit.

Are there other ways to manage my USD?

Yes! We have an everyday USD chequing account as well as USD account for seniors.

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.
