Peoples Trust and Peoples Bank offer a 15 Month GIC @1.55% as well as the one year at that rate. Should be with the promo's along with Oaken's. I purchased one yesterday because I don't want to beg Tangerine for their latest promo on HISA.

.
FWIW ... Oaken's 18 month rate, is the same as their 3 year rate: 1.60%

A pretty good deal, in these times ❗

When I spoke to Peoples Trust a few days ago to buy some of their 1.55% 1-year paper, I had intended to get the 18-month term to bring me closer to the end of the year. PT/PB don't have any Tax-Free transfer-out fee, but a renewal date later in the year would give me more freedom if I move that money, in the future, to an institution WITH such fees.

(As most of us here know, withdrawing from a TFSA/TFGIC near the end of a year and then re-depositing in the new year avoids transfer fees in many cases.)

Unfortunately, PT advised me the 18-month term is ONLY available on NON-REGISTERED term deposits. I haven't been able to get through today to confirm this, though,

As far as I can see, PT & PB don't have an 18 month GIC. They have a 12 month and 15 month one at 1.55%. They only have the 15 month one for non-registered GIC's.

Whoops, sorry. I should have typed 15-month. But Alexandra's note about that term being only for non-registered is correct.

What's the difference between People's Trust and People's Bank?

Peoples Trust & Peoples bank come under Peoples Group. You are insured under CDIC for each of them. Basically the same as Home Bank and Home Trust and Canadian Western Bank and Canadian Western Trust.

Why then is People's Trust included in the HISA and GIC charts, and not People's Bank?

The reason is that Peoples Trust came first and they've always had the same rates. I suppose there is no harm in having a second entry for Peoples Bank.

I think it would just add more clutter to show both separately. Perhaps the name could just be changed to "Peoples Trust or Bank".

Or, just Peoples Group
