Term Deposits and Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs)

To help you build a more resilient portfolio, we offer a full suite of GIC terms in both Canadian and U.S. dollars*. With flexible currency options and guaranteed interest rates, you can navigate market volatility while also diversifying your investment holdings.

All of our GICs are available through Equity Employees Bank, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Equitable Trust. Both issuers are members of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC), so eligible deposits held in each entity are protected separately up to applicable CDIC limits and policies1.
