Term Deposits

Investing with Community First means both saving money and making money. You can be assured you will have access to one of the widest ranges of investment products available in the industry.


Redeemable Term Deposits Expand/Collapse

A redeemable term deposit allows you to access your money at any time, should the need arise, with a slightly lower rate of return than non-redeemable term deposits.

Non-Redeemable Term Deposits Expand/Collapse

A non-redeemable term deposit does not allow you to access your money prior to maturity of the term, with a higher rate of return than redeemable term deposits.

Our term deposits offer a competitive interest rate for the entire term and a guaranteed return on your principal investment.

Market-Linked GIC Expand/Collapse

Market-Linked GICs are a unique investment option where returns are linked to the performance of the stock market. The performance in the stock market or sector to which the GIC is “linked” determines the rate of return, but the principal investment is always secured and guaranteed.

3 and 5 year terms available through Responsible Investments.
Your investment will be automatically reinvested in a similar product with comparable terms and conditions.

Capital 100% guaranteed at maturity

Return

Return on the investment is based on the appreciation of the benchmark securities and can only be known at maturity. Return could be nil at maturity.
