Take the guesswork out of investing
Redeemable term deposit
Invest with confidence and enjoy the freedom to cash out or reinvest anytime
Term deposits, also known as Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs), are safe investments that give you the flexibility to withdraw some or all of your money before the term ends.
