Tax Free Savings Account


Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSA) are an excellent addition to your investment portfolio. Our TFSAs offer competitive interest rates as well as fixed and variable terms to fit your lifestyle.

Unlike a RRSP, a TFSA allows you to make withdrawals tax-free and contributions are not tax-deductible. Any withdrawals made can be re-contributed the following year or in future years as long as you stay within your personal contribution limits.

Eligible deposits in registered accounts have unlimited coverage through the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA)
