BORROWING OPTIONS

PERSONAL LOAN

For whatever life throws at you. Get the money you need up front and choose the repayment option that fits your lifestyle and your budget. Your monthly payments are predictable and stay the same over the term of the loan.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Loan amount: $5,000 to $5,000,000
  • Loan term: 1 to 5 years, with an option of up to 15 year amortization, depending on the loan
  • Choose between an unsecured loan (based on your income and credit rating) OR a secured loan (based on your assets). When a loan or LOC is secured, you can usually qualify for a larger amount and get a better interest rate.
  • Quick approval, with pre-approval option
  • Flexible payment options
  • No prepayment penalties



RRSP LOANS

If you have unused RRSP contribution room from previous years or are looking for funds to make this year's contribution, an RRSP loan can help you in making sure you don't miss out on the tax savings while growing your RRSP investments.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Loan amount max: $50,000
  • Loan term: 1 to 5 years, with an option of up to 15 year amortization, depending on the loan
  • Up to 90 days before your first payment
  • Quick approval, with pre-approval option
  • Flexible payment options
  • No prepayment penalties
  • The money you borrow to invest will grow together with the rest of your RRSP investment



PERSONAL LINE OF CREDIT

For everything planned and everything unexpected, you can have access to credit up to an approved limit as you need it. Use them to purchase a car, pay for a vacation, cover tuition fees or fund short term cash needs. Your money is simply an extension of your account. The interest rate is variable and your minimum monthly payment will vary each month.

Key Features & Benefits

  • LOC amount: minimum $5,000
  • Choose between an unsecured line of credit (based on your income and credit rating) OR a secured line of credit (based on your assets) like a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) which allows you to access the equity built into your home as a financial resource. When a loan or LOC is secured, you can usually qualify for a larger amount and get a better interest rate.
  • Interest charged only on the funds you use
  • Quick approval
  • Interest only payments allowed
  • Flexible payment options
  • No prepayment penalties​

OVERDRAFT PROTECTION

With bill payments, debit transactions, preauthorized payments, and cheques, all coming from your account, sometimes your balance isn’t what you think it is. In the event of a shortfall, overdraft protection provides you access to available funds, up to an approved limit, to avoid the inconvenience and cost of an overdraft and/or returned payment. Think of it as backup.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Overdraft amount: maximum $5,000
  • Can be used any time throughout the month to cover unplanned or short-term expenses
  • Your money is simply an extension of your account
  • Quick approval
  • Flexible payment options—minimum 3% of the previous month end balance
  • No prepayment penalties
  • Interest charged only on the funds you use
  • Monthly Fee of $3.00
 
 

Credit Protection

Protect yourself and your loved ones with payment protection insurance. It's a simple, affordable way to safeguard your loan payments and take a step toward securing your financial future.

Maintain a good credit score, while protecting your family’s future

Loan and line of credit protection helps cover your monthly payments during a challenging time. Plus, it could protect your credit rating and future borrowing power.

  • Total disability: Covers your insured monthly payments if you become disabled or sick and are unable to work.
  • Critical illness: Pays or reduces your insured balance if you suffer a stroke or heart attack, or are diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, such as cancer.
  • Life: Pays or reduces your insured balance, tax-free, in the event of your death. Plus, we provide a Living Benefit feature if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness with a life expectancy of 12 months or less.
