Already have a TFSA? Make a contribution by transferring within Online Banking.
A TFSA is a government-sponsored account where any money earned inside is not taxed. That means when you earn interest, a dividend or the value of a mutual fund* goes up, you get to keep all of the money you made tax free.
Every year you can contribute more money to your TFSA. You can add up to $7,000 in 2024 for a maximum of $95,000 in your lifetime, so far. You’re allowed to withdraw money anytime and can put it all back in the following year if you want.
