New GIC rates as follows:

1 year 2.80%
2 years 3.10%
3 years 3.25%
4 years 3.30%
5 years 3.53%

I believe this is for new money only.

The special rates are still being offered: PACE Credit Union: Term Deposits

On the last page of their June 2018 newsletter, it mentions a $5,000 minimum for the 3.10% 2-year GIC.

PACE Credit Union seems to be more of a bricks-and-mortar financial institution rather than an online one.

One will need to apply to become a member. There is the possibility of having to visit one of their branches in southwestern Ontario to complete the membership process:

Note that for security reasons you may need to visit one of our branches to complete the application process.

Which could explain why they occasionally offer GIC's through deposit brokers as they did a few weeks ago.

They are not just in southwestern Ontario. There is a branch in Markham, for instance (Woodbine & Hwy 7).
Looks like you can apply online but you can't get the odd-month special offers that way. I think it would be safer to visit personally, to be sure you get what you want.

At the bottom of the 29 month promo page it shows the great rates mentioned earlier in the posting from 1-5 years.Only Hubert at 2.85% is higher than Pace's 2.80% for 1 yr. term.

No quite, SR! Omnia Direct continues to pay 3% - 1 Yr, 3.10% 18 mos and 3.25% 2 yrs

Additionally, it seems the 2.90% advertised by some brokers, is being offered by Pace; IC Savings (agent) is 2.86% 1 yr.

Other 2.80% 1 yr offerings are from Oaken and Duca.

SR,

I use the globeinvestors site also, but unfortunately it contains omissions as do all the other listing sites such as Cannex, Financial Post, Ratehub, Moneyguide and Fiscal Agents.

I think some of the sites require the FI to subscribe to be listed.

Important exclusions (of interest especially to some Forum members) on most, if not all of these sites are Wealth One Bank, Omnia Direct and Duca, Pace.

By monitoring the Forum, all the listing sites and a few brokers' sites, I have 20 sites on which I find I can maintain a pretty good overview of the interest rate market.

I set up a dedicated folder in the bookmarks of my Chrome browser, and by right clicking on the folder title, all 20 tabs open simultaneously for a total overview.

I wish Stephen was my live-in computer guru!sf-cool

I know next to nothing about tech but is it possible to set up something like what he has done via this forum?, i.e. a page we could click on which links to all these other ones? I am getting bwildered with all these GIC brokers and can't keep up.

FWIW, when I looked into it a few years ago, I learned somehow that a lot of the sites in question depend on the originating FIs to advise them of updates in rates, and some weren't very prompt.

Loonie and Semi Retired,

Not to derail this discussion thread, if you would like to duplicate my technique of monitoring a series of favorite websites that open simultaneously in a browser, I posted instructions in a separate Forum post here:

Opening An Overview Of Favorite Sites Simultaneously

If you would like additional information, we could discuss it there.
