Are our GICs right for you? 

They're right for you if:

  • You’re looking for a guaranteed rate of return on your investment.
  • You’re looking to lock in your funds long-term (i.e., for months or years).
  • You're looking for a completely digital banking experience.

They're not right for you if:

  • You think you may need to access your funds before maturity.
  • You’re looking to purchase a joint GIC.

Want growth so advanced
you don’t even have to think? 

Then invest it, forget it, and earn more without paperwork, long processes or any other banking nonsense. Our GIC options let you lock in any of our amazing rates, so no matter what happens, that rate is yours. We’ve also got a range of term options to help you invest smarter.

Smart features

  • Rates that make your savings go boom

    Say hello to some of the highest guaranteed rates in the industry on our GICs.

  • Registered or non-registered, take your pick

    Want to invest in a non-registered or a tax-advantaged registered GIC? We’ve got you on both fronts. To buy a registered GIC, you’ll need to open a TFSA or RSP Savings Account.

  • Plenty of term options

    You’re the one in charge of your savings, and that includes choosing whether short or long term GICs are right for you (or hey, maybe it’s both).

  • Investments in a safe place

    All deposits in EQ Bank products are eligible for Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) protection†.

  • Low minimum deposit

    We’re not about being restrictive, so you can start investing in GICs with as little as $100. 

  • A GIC in seconds

    As long as you have available funds in your Personal Account, you can literally buy a GIC in seconds.
