CDIC coverage
CDIC coverage is free and automatic – you don’t have to sign up. However, CDIC recommends that all customers keep their contact information at their financial institution up-to-date and know what products are covered (and what is not).
Your Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) and Savings Accounts are eligible for deposit insurance.
CDIC protection helps Canadians feel confident about keeping their money in banks and other financial institutions that are CDIC members. This helps to keep the Canadian financial system strong, which benefits all Canadians.
