EDMONTON — Tuesday marked the first day investors could purchase a new GIC that ATB Financial says will help fellow Albertans and businesses hurting due to tight credit markets.

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.

“For the first time, we are offering every Albertan a great opportunity to invest directly in Alberta,” said Dave Mowat, ATB president and CEO.

个人没钱。 公司可以投资么？

比我的LOC 还要高。 问题是如果个人贷款， 不能抵税， 利息收益要交税。
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？

4.25%别的地方找不到了吧?
