The Kindred Business Member 6-Month GIC Special is referred to in these Terms and Conditions as the “Kindred Business Member 6-Month GIC Special”.
The Kindred Business Member 6-Month GIC Special is offered by Kindred Credit Union Limited (“Kindred”).
By participating in the Kindred Business Member 6-Month GIC Special, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
Kindred Business Member 6-Month GIC Special
The Kindred Business Member 6-Month GIC Special runs from July 6, 2026 at 12:01 AM EST to August 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST, unless terminated at an earlier date by Kindred (the "Promotion Period").
During the Promotion Period, an eligible Business Member who invests a minimum of $5,000.00 in an eligible 6-month non-redeemable Kindred Guaranteed Investment Certificate (the “GIC”) will receive the applicable promotional annual interest rate as posted by Kindred.
An additional 0.10% annual interest rate premium is available where the investment qualifies as New Money, as determined by Kindred in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
For the purposes of this offer, New Money means funds transferred from an external financial institution and does not include existing funds held with Kindred, Aviso Wealth Inc., or any of their respective affiliates. Eligibility for the New Money premium will be determined by Kindred in its sole discretion.
Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for the Kindred Business Member 6-Month GIC Special, you must satisfy the following criteria (the “Eligibility Requirements”):
1. You must be a Kindred Business Member in good standing.
2. If you are a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, or limited liability partnership, you must be carrying on business in Ontario and all individuals who are partners or shareholders must be of the age of majority in Ontario.
Qualifying Criteria
To receive the applicable promotional interest rate, you must complete all of the following steps (the "Qualifying Criteria"):
Step 1: If you are not already a Kindred Business Member, you must become a Kindred Business Member during the Promotion Period.
Step 2: If you do not already have an eligible business account with Kindred, you must open one through a Kindred representative during the Promotion Period. Account opening must be completed in person at a Kindred branch unless otherwise permitted by Kindred and is subject to eligibility and qualification criteria as determined by Kindred at our sole discretion.
Step 3: During the Promotion Period, you must make one or more eligible investments (each, a "New Investment") in an eligible 6-month non-redeemable Kindred GIC with a minimum investment of $5,000.00.
An eligible New Investment will receive the applicable promotional annual interest rate.
To qualify for the additional 0.10% annual interest rate premium, the source of the funds for the New Investment must come from an external financial institution and must not include existing funds held with Kindred, Aviso Wealth Inc., or any of their respective affiliates.
Funds deposited with Kindred outside the Promotion Period do not qualify for the additional New Money premium, except where such funds result from a transfer from another financial institution that was initiated during the Promotion Period. Investments made before or after the Promotion Period do not qualify for the promotional offer.
Kindred is not obligated to open a membership for you. If Kindred, in its sole discretion, does not open a membership for you, then you will not be eligible for the Kindred Business Member 6-Month GIC Special.
