Common questions about Tangerine GICs

What is Tangerine's minimum GIC deposit?

Tangerine does not publish a minimum on its own rates page. Of the 15 institutions we track, 10 publish one, and those run $100 to $1,000 — so the figure to confirm before you deposit is the one Tangerine quotes you.

Does Tangerine have the best GIC rate in Canada?

Which GIC terms does Tangerine offer?

9 terms are posted on tangerine.ca, from 90 day to 5 year. The comparison table above covers the 5 annual terms where enough issuers publish a rate for a market comparison to mean anything.

Does Tangerine pay GIC interest monthly?

Tangerine does not post a separate interest-paid-monthly rate on tangerine.ca, so we do not publish one.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 Tangerine rates promotional?

No. These are Tangerine's standard posted rates, read from tangerine.ca on 2026-09-04. Tangerine does not date its posted rates, so that read date is the only currency guarantee available here. Limited-time promotions are noted separately rather than used to move an institution up the ranking.
