Savings Accounts

This account lets you earn interest at a great variable rate. You can contribute any time and there's no minimum balance, making this is a great way start your retirement savings or to make small, frequent deposits to your TFSA.

GICs

GICs offer a higher interest rate than a savings account by locking in your funds for a term of one to 5 years. The interest rate is fixed, so you'll know exactly what you'll earn by the end of your term, and your money is guaranteed 100% by the Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation of Manitoba.
