RSP’s are an important part of your overall financial plan, but have you considered the advantages of contributing to your retirement savings with an RSP loan?
There’s no substitute for time, but there is a strategy to catch up if you have unused RRSP contribution room.
With an RRSP catch-up loan, you borrow the amount up to your unused contribution room and structure your loan repayment to suit your budget. You’ll receive a tax deduction for the RRSP contribution, which provides immediate tax savings. Plus, it can get you back on track to achieving your retirement goals and help you stick to your savings plan. Never underestimate the power of compounding.

- Low loan amounts: a $2,500 minimum RRSP loan amount and no maximum across all terms

- 1 year variable: 3.20% (Prime** + 0.50%)
- 2 years variable: 3.20%(Prime** + 0.50%)
