Is Saven Financial's GIC covered by FSRA?

Yes, though not by CDIC. Saven Financial is a credit union regulated in Ontario, so its deposits are protected to $250,000 by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario rather than to CDIC's $100,000. The deposit itself is held by FirstOntario Credit Union, which means it shares that limit with anything else you hold there.

Does Saven Financial pay GIC interest monthly?

Saven Financial does not post a separate interest-paid-monthly rate on savenfinancial.ca, so we do not publish one. Where an issuer posts one it is always lower than the compounding rate, which makes it worth asking before you choose monthly income.

Are these Saven Financial rates promotional?

Saven Financial does not date its posted rates, so that read date is the only currency guarantee available here.
