RRSP loans

Loans to help you increase your annual RRSP contribution or cover you if you're temporarily short of cash at RRSP time.

Not contributing one year can have a real impact on your retirement income objectives. Borrowing to contribute to your RRSP might be a better plan. Your tax savings and investment earnings that accumulate on a tax-deferred basis compensate for the real cost of the loan.

To avoid borrowing next year, consider a Regular Instalment RRSP which allows you to contribute throughout the year.

Which loan is best for you?

Desjardins RRSP loan
Borrow amounts of over $12,500 at a better rate than a personal loan. Ideal if you plan to repay your loan quickly.

To apply or find out more, see the section Desjardins RRSP loan (over $12,500)
Accord D RRSP financing
Financing method that compares favourably to RRSP loans and whose interest rate is as good as that on a caisse RRSP loan.

The ideal solution for your RRSP contribution or if you want to invest the loan amount in a Desjardins investment vehicle.

Desjardins makes it possible for you to take advantage of a six-month period to defer payment of the principal on your financing until you get your income tax refund (if you are eligible for such a refund).

By applying for Accord D RRSP financing online, you can contribute to your RRSP.

To apply or find out more, see the section Accord D RRSP financing section.
