Canadian gic rates comparison chart
GICs and Canada Deposit Insurance. In Canada, Member banks of the CDIC (Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation) have deposit insurance by the CDIC on most but not all savings products including savings account, chequing accounts, GICs or other term deposits (5yrs or less) with an original term to maturity of 5 years or less. Question: In the GIC Rates Comparison Chart, I used to see in the rates for Canadian Tire Bank, but I see recently they have been removed. Don't know if there was a reason for this, but after reviewing many of the forum posts, I can't seem to find anything about it. Which banks / credit unions offer the best feature - rate combination? Are the smaller financial institutions any worse than the big players? Talk about all things regarding Canadian high interest savings accounts in the discussion forum and read detailed articles.
