  • The interest rate determines how much money your savings will earn over time. With compound interest, the interest is added to the initial deposit, allowing you to earn interest on both your deposit and the interest you've already earned.

It compares top HISAs in terms of interest rates and features, helping Canadians choose an account that suits their needs. The article highlights options with no monthly fees, high-interest rates, and easy access to funds, providing a comprehensive guide to maximize savings growth. It also considers factors such as account fees, accessibility, and ease of account management.

  • Higher Return: The primary benefit is earning more interest than with a regular savings account, which can help beat inflation.

  • Low Risk: HISAs are considered low-risk since your deposit is typically insured by government agencies (e.g., the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or the FDIC in the U.S.).

  • Liquidity: You can access your funds at any time, unlike a fixed deposit or CD (Certificate of Deposit) where your money is locked for a set period.

It shows the average savings in Canada, by age. And it seemed like the people 55-64 had the most savings while planning their retirement. 65+ have a bit less probably because they dont have anymore cash flow after retirement.

As you can see, the graph drops drastically during the 90's. This is as a result of higher cost of living throughout the years.
