Fees

With our Registered Advantage Account, there are no fees to open an account, make deposits, or withdraw funds.

No fees for long-term GICs.

Short-term GICs may be redeemed prior to maturity but interest is forfeited if redeemed within 29 days from issuance. If redeemed on or after 30 days but before maturity, a 1.25% reduction in interest rate will apply. Interest is prorated to the number of days. A $25.00 early redemption fee will also be charged. Refer to the GIC Confirmation for details. Interest is calculated daily on the total daily balance and paid monthly. Rates are subject to change without notice.

Your annual contribution limit is 18% of your earned income last year to a maximum dollar amount set by the Canadian government, which changes every year, plus any unused contribution room from previous years. To find out how much contribution room you have, visit the Canada Revenue Agency’s My Account website, MyCRA mobile app or Tax Information Phone Service at 1-800-267-6999.

There are three ways you can deposit money into your Registered Advantage Account:

  • Link an account from another Canadian bank and transfer funds,
  • Mail us a cheque,
  • Ask your advisor to make your deposit for you.

There are two ways to buy GICs for your Manulife Bank RRSP:

  • If you already have a Manulife Bank account, call us at 1-877-765-2265 and we can take your request over the phone
  • If you’re new to Manulife Bank, reach out to your advisor (or find a local advisor if you don’t already have one!)
