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.

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。

4.25%現在算是個不錯的回報。
