Hello, I am trying to perform a last minute investment before August 3... I am trying an INTERAC e-Transfer from another bank but Oaken is not on the list of institutions 🙁 any ideas? An electronic transfer might not arrive until Wednesday, the last day of the present rate.

Not sure if Oaken can receive an Interac e-Transfer.
Can one contact Oaken, ask them to open the GIC, and pull the money to fund it from a previously-linked external account?

I don't think they have interac.
I usually order GICs online right after I pull funds in. Only once did I have to wait for the next day.
And yes they will pull funds in for you if you order on the phone
ps. That is only if you have previously set up push/pull with them.

Cranston is exactly right. Last GIC I took at Oaken, I called them, booked the GIC and ask them to pull the money from a previous linked account. There was no problem, It took a day or 2 max. Of course they froze the money for a week but they started the GIC on the date they got the money.

From Home Trust financial report:
“While deposit funding has grown in recent weeks, the Company has been paying a premium rate of interest on new deposits. These rates will reduce the interest spread earned on new business and the Company will look to reduce deposit interest rates to more sustainable levels in the coming months. This may have a dampening effect on deposit growth and consequently constrain growth of mortgage originations,” it said.
