Guaranteed Investment Certificates and Term Deposits

ICICI Bank Canada guarantees repayment at maturity of the principal sum and the interest earned on Guaranteed Investment Certificates/Term Deposits with ICICI Bank Canada (a “GIC” or a "deposit"). Unless otherwise instructed by the holder of the GIC (hereinafter, “holder” or “you”), at maturity the principal and accrued interest on the investment will automatically be reinvested for a term as may be decided by ICICI Bank Canada and at such rates as may be applicable at the time of reinvestment.

For GICs of one year or longer and in currencies other than United States Dollars, interest is calculated on the basis of 365 or 366 days and compounded and/or paid annually. When ICICI Bank Canada offers GICs in currencies other than United States Dollars and for terms of less than one year, interest is calculated on the basis of 365 or 366 and paid according to maturity instructions. For GICs denominated in United States Dollars and over a one year term, interest is calculated on the basis of 360 days and compounded and/or paid annually. When ICICI Bank Canada offers GICs in United States Dollars for terms of less than one year, interest is calculated on the basis of 360 days and paid according to maturity instructions. The principal amount shall not become payable until the maturity date, unless you have chosen to redeem the GIC prior to its maturity date. The rate of interest paid on a GIC that is cashed prior to maturity, when permitted, will be adjusted to equal the cashable interest rate agreed to on the original purchase of the GIC. A GIC is not negotiable and may not be assigned by you.
