Preferred Savings Account

Whether you’re saving for a special purchase, establishing an emergency fund, or looking for a safe place to park your money while deciding on an investment, adding this competitive savings account to your banking solution will combine competitive interest rates with features that meet your everyday needs.

It’s a practical account if you want to earn higher-than-average interest on your short-term savings, and you don’t do a lot of monthly transactions.

Use the Preferred Savings Account as a parking spot for money used to fund monthly contributions into your Great-West Life segregated fund portfolio, Quadrus Group of Funds or any other mutual fund available through Quadrus Investment Services Ltd. Earn a premium interest rate on your money while it’s waiting to be invested.

Combine the Preferred Savings Account with one of our Solutions Banking Chequing Account options for added convenience and accessibility.
