The ATB Growth Note will be a five-year guaranteed investment certificate with a 4.25-per-cent interest rate, announced the provincial Crown corporation and Edmonton-based financial institution on Tuesday.

The initiative was first revealed in July as part of a commitment by ATB to increase its lending capacity to small business to offset the effects of tight credit markets by as much as $15 billion. Changes to ATB’s notional capital requirements will increase its lending capacity by about $8 billion and the investment deposit product would raise another $7 billion, ATB said at the time.

如果可以在TFSA就划算多。

4.25%現在算是個不錯的回報。
但如果未到五年取出來，利息是怎樣算的？
