Now is the time to take advantage of the great GIC rates offered by KCCU!

A Term Deposit or Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) is a secure investment that guarantees to preserve your principal while earning interest at a fixed rate and offers the following benefits:

• Security and safety—both your original investment and interest payments are guaranteed.
• Competitive interest rates—guaranteed for the full term of the investment.
• Flexible investment terms—ranging from 30 days to 5 years.
• Low maintenance – GICs are easy to understand and manage because they are predictable and require little monitoring.
• Savings protections – No matter what is happening in the markets, your GIC investment will earn interest. The amount depends on the terms of the GIC product you choose.
• Wide eligibility –You can buy a GIC for a wide range of investment products. This introduces all the GIC benefits into your other savings like your RRSP, TFSA or RRIF.

GICs can play a role in your savings strategy. While there are many benefits, you should consider them in the context of your overall investment and tax management strategy.
