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.

( \: {3 I2 w" s0 b  F5 J8 c( AThe 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.

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。
