Before you renew

Your Existing GIC May Renew Automatically

Some GICs automatically renew into a new term at the rate available on the maturity date. Comparing options before renewal may give you more control over the term, provider and rate you select.

How it works

How deposit protection works in Canada

CDIC generally protects eligible deposits up to applicable coverage limits, separately across eligible deposit categories and member institutions. Coverage depends on how deposits are held and whether the institution and the deposit qualify.

Coverage is not automatic for every product shown on this site. Whether a specific GIC qualifies depends on the issuing institution, the account it is held in, and CDIC or provincial eligibility rules. GICRateCompare.com does not provide deposit insurance.

CDIC member institutions

Eligible deposits held with a CDIC member institution may be protected within applicable CDIC coverage categories and limits.

Provincial credit unions

Credit-union deposits are covered by provincial arrangements instead of CDIC. Rules and limits vary by province.

Confirm before depositing

Always confirm the issuing institution, product structure and the protection that applies to your specific deposit.

Full coverage rules are published by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation at cdic.ca.
