Canadian Western Bank Discussion

  • Q: Does your bank have branches in USA or Mexico?

    Reply Alberto from Ciudad Madero, Mexico
  • Q: Does Canadian Western Bank have a GIC that you can make biweekly or monthly contributions while waiting for maturation. I do not want to be able to access the money until maturation.

  • Q: I recently had a 2 year GIC purchased from your bank to be deposited into my TFSA at BMO. However, I now note your details about no monthly interest and the 0.25% deduction if it is not deposited into a CWB account. My intention was to let all interest accumulate until the bond comes due. If this is the case, am I still losing 0.25% interest on this GIC? I am afraid I do not understand if this rate reduction applies in this case. Please explain. Thank you. Carole Chadwick
