This term deposit is great for:

How it works:
Deposit your money for a set amount of time and earn interest. Generally, non-redeemable term deposits pay higher interest rates than redeemable terms, as your funds are locked-in and only redeemable at maturity at the end of the term.
The term deposit will automatically renew at maturity unless specified otherwise.
With registered accounts, this term deposit is eligible with TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, RRIF, RESP, RDSP accounts. Interest is calculated annualy and paid at maturity.
