Whatever you're saving for, our Motive® GIC is here to help you get there faster.
New Motive clients will be required to open a Motive bank account with Canadian Western Bank to buy an Eligible GIC. There will be no costs or fees charged to you in connection with the opening of your Motive bank account. Please refer to our Service Fees page to understand the best account for you. The purpose of the bank account is to allow us to assess the possible risks (traceability etc.) associated with the transfer of funds and for the administration of the Eligible GIC.
