BMO Treasurers Frequently Ask
What is the difference between a standard savings account and a GIC?
A standard savings account offers total liquidity—you can move money in and out daily. A GIC (Guaranteed Investment Certificate) offers a higher fixed rate but requires you to "lock in" the funds for 30 days to 5 years. BMO provides the professional advice to help you balance your need for immediate cash with your desire for maximum growth.
