Eligible for CDIC coverage
Oaken Commercial GICs
If you own a business, operate a not-for-profit or control the funds of your condo board, you know how important it is to have guaranteed savings.
Some of the best GIC rates available
Our interest rates are among the highest in Canada. This makes our no-fee GICs the ideal way to manage the funds of your business or non-profit entity.
Safeguard your organizations finances
If you’re managing a corporation or association, your first priority is to ensure the safety of the funds held in the corporation’s name. That’s where we come in. Oaken GICs are the perfect instrument for protecting the corporation’s principal now and in the future. Our GICs are available for any type of entity such as:
Condo or strata corporations
Associations
Trusts
Businesses(incorporations, partnerships, sole proprietors, etc)
Non-profits and charities
The great advantage of our GICs is that they satisfy even the strictest financial requirements. From condo reserve funds to investments in a charity or trust, our GICs can help you discharge your fiduciary responsibilities, while benefitting from some of the highest deposit interest rates in Canada.
Security
Managing funds for a commercial entity is not like managing funds for yourself. You can’t afford to take any risks, and in some cases, you’re legally prevented from doing so. That’s why our GICs are such a good fit. We’re backed by Home Bank, and powered by Home Trust Company, Canada’s largest independent trust company that has been proudly serving Canadians since 1987. And in addition to being very low risk, all Oaken investments are eligible for the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) coverage, up to applicable limits. So you’ll always sleep soundly knowing the funds are protected, and the money will be there when it’s needed.
