While they seem to be raising rates just a fraction at a time, they are still raising them while other FI's are pausing or lowering. I am a huge fan of this CU as I have found their one year laddered GIC to be just my cup of tea. Current rates now begin at 4.45% and increase by 0.10% every 3 months with the option to redeem quarterly. If you leave your money in there for the whole year, you will average 4.60% with all money fully insured by the Deposit Guarantee Corporation of Manitoba without limit.

I don't believe that our deposits in Hubert are insured by the Province of Manitoba. It pays to read the fine print.

Where do you read? or how do you mean? ... A little surprise you make a claim like that. I always thought listings on HighInterestSavings charts are backed by deposit insurance.

WADR, the OP said the DGCM, not the province of Manitoba.

Yes, Hubert deposits are insured by the DGCM. I may have misread the OP, but I thought that it was initially stated that the province of Manitoba guaranteed these deposits, which is not the case.

This is a good vehicle for short term. Unfortunately, Hubert is going backwards with anything other than this one year quarterly. Time to look elsewhere.

I spoke to Hubert CSR today, who said the one-year rate will be increasing tomorrow.

Thank you for posting this news! I had just purchased a one-year term this morning, and was able to redeem it the same day. So now the funds are in my HISA, waiting to fund the term at tomorrow's higher rate.
Dealing with Hubert is so easy and satisfying compared to all the other FIs I have GICs with!

Interesting they just grind the 1y higher very slowly but still result in a lot of admin when it comes to the end of the 3 month period, where people redeem and reinvest.

I bought a 1Yr GIC on Feb 15 @ 4.85%. I called at 8:30 MB time to upgrade to 5% which they wouldn't do. So, I cashed out the 4.85% and bought a new 5%.
All done in less than 2 minutes ...

I just purchased a 1 year term at the new rate. I did this online in less than two minutes, plus a two minute phone call to redeem the GIC at the old rate yesterday.
I also noticed that there is now a different HISA interest rate for RRSP and TFSA accounts than for non-registered accounts. Was this previously the case, or is this a new departure?

It wasn't like that recently no, I don't know about long term.

U lost 2 days of interest 4.7% which is 940bps. U gain 15bps per day with the new date. So need 62 days to break even. If u redeem after 3 months anyway, it’s only 1 month of extra 15bps. But then money is money.

I did some math, too, and found that the 15 days of accumulated interest I would sacrifice would not cover the additional 0.15 higher interest rate.
If the rate is still available after my quarterly maturity, I will take it.
