How long is money considered to be new?

• There is no specific number of days; it is dependent on the Promotional Start Date. If a member has deposited money for the purpose of purchasing an investment with Friesland, then those funds would be considered new as long as the deposit was made on or after the corresponding promotional start date.

What if I deposit money for the purpose of investing but can’t meet with a banker until a few weeks later, would this money count as new money?

• Yes, if you’re depositing funds with Friesland for the purpose of investing but for whatever reason you’re unavailable to meet right away, these funds would be eligible. Again, as long as the funds are deposited on or after the Promotional Start Date. On a best effort you should be making an appointment with one of our bankers at the time of the deposit to indicate that the deposit was for investment purposes.

What are sources of new money?

• Deposit such as cash, cheque, PAD, Interac e-Transfer etc.
• Payroll

What if I use a loan or line of credit to fund my investment, would this count as new money?

• Yes, funds advanced from an Friesland loan or line of credit for the purpose of investing are eligible for the new money promotional term deposits. 

What if I take money out of my account and then redeposit it, does that count as a new deposit?
