RRSP Loans
A good reason to borrow.
Just because you're short on cash right now doesn't mean you have to forfeit a financially healthy retirement. Contributing to your RRSP on a regular basis will help build a significant nest egg over time. Our RRSP loan offers one of the best rates available, and your first payment can be deferred until May, typically when you receive your income tax refund and can be used to pay down your loan.
- Borrow up to $5,000.
- Repay over 2 years.
- First payment can be deferred until May.
- Lots of RRSP contribution room? Ask about a "Catch Up" RRSP Loan.
- Want to 'top-up' your RRSP contribution? Use an RRSP loan to increase your annual contribution by 40% or more and pay back your loan with your tax refund.
- Don't want to fill out an application every year? Contact us about our new RRSP Line-of-Credit.
Benefits of borrowing from your RRSP
Car Loans
A car loan from Tandia keeps you in the driver’s seat.
Let’s face it – whether you lease or borrow-to-own a car, it’s an expensive undertaking. It’s not unusual to see a price-tag on a new car that’s as much as the cost of an average house only a generation ago. The low monthly payments advertised with car leases can be appealing, but there’s more to leasing a car than the payments. Anyone who is in the market for a new set of wheels should consider both the pro’s and con’s of leasing before ruling out borrowing-to-own.
Advantages of leasing
- You can usually keep your monthly car payments lower than if you purchase.
- You can usually drive a more expensive car than if you purchase.
- There can be a tax advantage if you drive a car for business purposes.
Disadvantages of leasing
- You don’t own the vehicle.
- You can be subject to end-of-lease charges for excess mileage and wear-and-tear.
- Inflexible terms – if for some reason you need to end the lease early, you can be subject to a penalty for early termination. Think it couldn’t happen to you? It can happen to anyone… job loss, auto theft or an accident.
Advantages of borrowing-to-own
- Our loan payments can be as low as lease payments.
- Payments will be based on the purchase price of the car including taxes (for qualified applicants).
- Competitive rates.
- You own the vehicle.
- You can sell the vehicle at any time with no interest penalty for paying off the loan.
- You can modify the car any way you choose (paint or after-market options).
- There’s no mileage restrictions or worry about excess wear-and-tear.
- You can be car-payment-free some day and have some equity to show.
- For additional peace of mind, we offer affordable creditor life and disability insurance to protect your family from financial risk.
- You have control and stay in the driver’s seat.
