Canada Savings Bonds

The month of October is your opportunity to enroll in the Canada Savings Bond Payroll Savings Program (CSB). You will be amazed at how quickly the savings will grow.

Affordable

For as little as $4 per pay period, you can contribute to a plan through automatic deductions from your pay. Your savings begin earning interest from the day your funds are received. Your contributions will start with your December 13th pay advice.

Easy

To start a plan go to www.csb.gc.ca and select Employees then Register Login. Plan registration, contributions and redemptions are all managed through this site. You will need your VCH employer code – 36980 (31070 for Bella Bella and Bella Coola) and your employee ID, found on your pay advice.

Safe

CSBs are fully backed by the Government of Canada.

Accessible

You can access your money any time online.   On-Line access is available from Oct. 7 to Nov. 1, 2013 at 8:00 p.m. (ET).

If you are currently enrolled in the CSB program and do not want to make any changes, do nothing!  Your current deductions will continue unchanged.   Need Help? See the list of Frequently Asked Questions or the easy to read Employee How to Guide on the CSB web site.   A telephone helpline is also available at 1-877-899-3599.
