7 New MFABC negotiated High Interest Savings Account
Over the last several years, B.C. municipalities and other MFA customers have been very reliant on local credit unions for their short-term investment needs Credit union deposit yields have been very competitive with alternative investments given strong local demand for local business borrowing and especially home mortgages – but this is waning and relative attractiveness of deposit rates has been falling The unlimited cudic deposit insurance scheme since 2009 led some investors to the inaccurate view that credit union deposits are fully guaranteed by the Province of B.C. Unfortunately, this led to concentration of credit risk and over-reliance on local revenue sources by certain local government entities MFA has conducted an RFI with Schedule I banks for a pooled High Interest Savings Account MFA has leveraged existing relationships to garner competitive deposit rates relative to local credit unions Currently, deposit rate of 1.71% available with CIBC, National Bank rate expected in coming weeks 7
