What is the difference between a fixed and variable mortgage rate?A fixed mortgage rate is 'locked in' for a set period of time, known as the Mortgage Term. A fixed mortgage rate will not change during this time period. Your monthly mortgage payments will remain consistent with a fixed mortgage rate.
A variable mortgage rate is based on the lender's prime rate, and will fluctuate along with the market. Your monthly mortgage payments may be higher or lower than when you signed up for your mortgage.
The most popular mortgage rate is a 5-year fixed.
Your spending habits and needs are unique - so your credit card should be too.
Low Interest: If you tend to carry a balance, a low interest credit card can save you on interest payments.
Rewards Card: If you pay your balance in full each month, a rewards credit card is a great option to get rewarded for your spending.
Low Balance Transfer: If you're trying to pay off your credit card debt, a low balance transfer credit card is a great choice as more of your payments will go towards your principal - instead of towards your interest.
Build Credit Score: If you have poor credit, or are looking to build your credit a secured credit card or guaranteed credit card will help you build your credit score.
What is a rewards return?Not all credit cards are created equal, and neither are rewards. Whether you're looking for points, miles or cash back, the Rewards Return calculates the percentage of cash return, so you can compare rewards cards, like for like.
A Guaranteed Income Certificate is an investment vehicle that requires you to invest your money for a specific length of time (the GIC term) in exchange for interest on your savings.
What's the difference between a GIC and a high interest savings account?GICs: A Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) is a savings option where you agree to invest your money for a certain amount of time in exchange for interest. GICs typically offer higher rates since your money is generally locked in.
High Interest Savings Account: A savings account that is a short term savings solution. It's a great option to save for a small financial goal (like a vacation), or setting aside an emergency fund
