​Earn a higher return on your savings

Tandia is pleased to offer members a wide range of market-competitive fixed rate term deposits with terms from 30 days to 5 years. Some fixed rate term deposits are eligible to be held in registered plans, depending on the term selected. Interest is guaranteed for the term and at maturity the deposit is reinvested into a similar term unless otherwise instructed by the member.

LONG TERM DEPOSITS - 1 TO 5 YEAR
  • A minimum deposit of $500 is required ($100 minimum deposit for YouthSavers or trust accounts).
  • 1 - 5 Year Term Deposits are non-redeemable.
  • Interest will be paid annually to your deposit account of choice.
  • Additional interest payment options are available to suit your budget upon request - semi-annual (.125% less) and monthly (minimum $5,000 deposit, .25% less).
  • If you prefer to reinvest the interest earned on your deposit rather than take the payment, interest can automatically compound annually.
  • It's easy to keep track - your regular statement of account indicates your principal investment, the interest rate, term, maturity date and date of next interest payment. Details are also accessible at anytime through online banking.
CASHABLE TERM DEPOSIT - 1 YEAR
  • A minimum deposit of $500 is required ($100 minimum for YouthSavers trust accounts).
  • Monthly interest payments (at .25% less) are available for minimum deposits of $5,000.

Cashable as follows:

  • 0 - 90 days – no interest paid.
  • 91 - 364 days - No penalty; interest will be paid for the number of days on deposit at the full interest rate in effect on the date of the deposit. At maturity, it will renew once again as a cashable one year term deposit.
PAY DAY TERM DEPOSITS

It makes good dollars and sense to set up a payroll deduction or automatic transfer to deposit into a PayDay Term Deposit that allows you to systematically build your savings over time. Many members enjoy the convenience of painlessly saving by having a set amount deducted right from their pay cheque. They also appreciate the discipline of a term deposit product with minimal (but some) restrictions on access.

Features
  • Minimum $1,000 commitment (savings goal)1 year term
  • Purchase of the term deposit is paid for through payroll deduction/AFT or automatic funds transfer from a Tandia account
  • Interest is calculated on the daily balance and paid at maturity
  • Cashable any time after 90 days with full interest
  • At maturity, your PayDay Term Deposit will rollover to a Cashable 1 Year Term Deposit.
Round up and save

A nice complement to a PayDay Savings Program is Round Up and Save – linked to your Tandia debit card, all of your purchases using debit will be rounded up to the nearest dollar and deposited into a Tiered Interest Savings Account. Why not save as much as you can without feeling the pinch?

Get started now

The process is easy. Choose a goal of how much you’d like to save over a one year period (minimum $1,000) and then divide it by the number of pays you have for that time frame. Call us with this PayDay savings amount and the date you’d like to start and then, watch it grow!

What is a GIC?

Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GIC's) and term deposits are secured investments. This means that you get back the amount you invest at the end of your term. The key difference between a GIC and a term deposit is the length of the term. Term deposits generally have shorter terms than GIC's.

Are GIC's safe places to put your money?

Yes, GIC's are considered to be extremely safe. They are classified as low risk investments. GIC's often payout less amounts than other types of investments. However this is quickly changing with interest rates on the rise. Having a GIC provides you the ability to earn a decent return over a relatively short period of time without any risk of losing your money.
