Get your AgriInvest Savings Account this summer.¹

As an agricultural producer, you need to prepare for the unexpected—from downturns in production to price fluctuations. Your neighbours at ATB Financial can help. Get ready for a rainy day by opening a government AgriInvest savings account.

AgriInvest helps producers mitigate short-term risk. Each year, you can make a deposit into an AgriInvest account and receive a matching contribution from federal and provincial governments.

For the 2011 program year, you can open an AgriInvest account and deposit funds at your local ATB Financial branch starting July 2012.

Beginning in July, the government will mail 2011 AgriInvest deposit notices and account initiation forms to producers who have applied to participate in the program.

To open an AgriInvest account, please complete and sign this account initiation form and present it to your local ATB Financial branch. Once the account is opened and you’ve made your deposit, we will notify Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC). Any existing AgriInvest funds held with AAFC and the government matching contribution will then be transferred to your new AgriInvest account within eight weeks.

We realize that you are busy in the field during these summer months, so we have a dedicated team to help you open an account as quick as possible. Once you have received your 2011 account initiation form, call us to set up an appointment so we can help get you back in the field.

ATB Financial has been your neighbour for over 70 years, and we are here to save you time and offer financial solutions that will help your business succeed.
