The ATB Growth Note will be a five-year guaranteed investment certificate with a 4.25-per-cent interest rate, announced the provincial Crown corporation and Edmonton-based financial institution on Tuesday.

Changes to ATB’s notional capital requirements will increase its lending capacity by about $8 billion and the investment deposit product would raise another $7 billion, ATB said at the time.

Funds raised by selling the notes will be used for loans to qualified Albertans and Alberta businesses.

比我的LOC 还要高。 问题是如果个人贷款， 不能抵税， 利息收益要交税。
如果可以在TFSA就划算多。
