Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can. The Redeemable GIC can be held as a joint investment between two or more co-signers.
No, but you can invest in a Tax Free Savings Account, which offers similar ease of access to funds.
When you cash a GIC, you get your principal back along with interest earned at the GIC's standard rate. That means that if you have a GIC designed to be 'cashable' before the end of its term, your principal earns full interest for as long as the money remains in your GIC for the required term.
Some cashable GICs have restrictions on specific portions of your term during which you can access your funds at the full rate of return.
When you have a GIC designed to be 'redeemable' before the end of its term, you can still get your full principal back, but with interest earned at a lower rate than if you left your principal in the GIC for the full term.
Redeemable GICs are typically redeemable in any point—though how soon you redeem your principal may affect how much interest you earn.
Yes. Your original investment must be a minimum of $500 on terms 1 year or greater, or $1,000 on terms less than 1 year.

The Offer
The ATB Financial FY27 Registered Deposit Offer (the “Offer”) runs from October 19, 2026, to March 1, 2027 (the “Offer Period”). By participating in this Offer, eligible clients can earn a one-time cash bonus ranging from $100 to $10,000 depending on the cumulative net value of external funds transferred into eligible ATB Daily Interest (DI) registered accounts during the Offer Period, subject to the conditions outlined below. Transfer requests must be formally initiated through ATB (via an ATB team member) between October 19, 2026, and March 1, 2027, and received by ATB no later than March 31, 2027, to qualify. Clients transferring funds into DI registered accounts may also allocate or move those funds into an eligible Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) while remaining eligible for the Cash Bonus.
Eligibility Criteria
This Offer is open to Canadian residents who have reached the age of majority in Alberta and hold a new or existing eligible ATB Registered Daily Interest account. Eligible DI account types include Tax-Free Saver Account, Registered Retirement Savings Plan Daily Interest Account, and First Home Savings Account. RRSP Builder accounts are excluded from this Offer. This Offer is available exclusively to individual account holders; joint account ownership is strictly excluded for this Offer.
To qualify for a Cash Bonus, clients must transfer a minimum cumulative net amount of $10,000 (across up to three eligible DI accounts) in registered funds from one or multiple external financial institutions into up to three (3) eligible ATB DI account types during the Offer Period. Qualifying funds may be transferred into any combination of eligible ATB registered account types (TFSA, RRSP, FHSA), regardless of the registered account type held at the transferring financial institutions. Internal transfers from existing ATB Financial, ATB Wealth, or ATB Daily Interest accounts are strictly excluded. Clients are solely responsible for monitoring their personal CRA contribution and transfer limits across all registered plans. ATB Financial assumes no responsibility or liability for any tax penalties or excess contribution charges incurred.

Retention & Hold Period
All external funds transferred in to qualify for this Offer must remain in the eligible registered account(s) until February 29, 2028. The final Cash Bonus amount will be calculated based on the net cumulative value of eligible transferred funds remaining in the account through February 29, 2028 (total qualifying external transfers-in minus any withdrawals or external transfers-out made during the offer and retention period). If withdrawals reduce the cumulative net amount below $10,000, the client will be disqualified from receiving a Cash Bonus.

Early payouts will not be issued prior to this set period. Limit of one (1) Cash Bonus payout per client, provided all qualification criteria conditions are met. Offer cannot be combined with any other promotional deposit or transfer offers unless explicitly authorized by ATB Financial. ATB Financial reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, terminate, modify, extend, or suspend this Offer, or amend these Terms & Conditions, in whole or in part, at any time without prior notice.
