DUCA's website shows that their 3 yr. redeemable GIC has dropped from 3.25% to 3.10% and is redeemable after 18 months, not annually. Their 5 yr. GIC has dropped from 3.75% to 3.50%.
BUT if you phone today, March 4th, I was told that they might give you the old rates and even hold the old rates for you for a few days.

This would indicate that their rates attracted too much interest among the savers, and that they've reached optimal level of funds to do profitable business with them.
I am glad I received the higher rates yesterday for 3 and for 5 years GIC terms, just in time.

No that's not it. All the banks and credit unions lowered their GIC rates this month. This is part of a larger trend and probably a preemptive reaction to the BOC.
