It is of course, all part of the normal Ebb & Flow of GIC interest rates.

But I did get a Good Chuckle out of the effective date they chose.

Nice of them to let most people get their cash locked in. Not me, alas, I was waiting to combine my new $7K with the maturing one. sf-cry

lol.. You’re correct. I was looking at the 4 year increase … hoping for an increase on the 3 year. But that would have made the 3 and 4 year rate the same.

But not good for the higher demand for RRSP and TFSA season?

Their 4Yr increase almost an anomaly. I'm guessing their loan portfolio has been leaning more heavily than they want to short term and are hoping to shift it to longer term.
