Open CDIC’s institution lookup

CDIC’s list covers member institutions and trade names. Provincial credit unions and other provider categories require the appropriate separate checks. Membership alone does not establish coverage for every product.

What would the account cost you?

Start with the package fee you would actually pay. Add extra transactions and cash access. Check introductory expiry and the exact daily-balance waiver test. Include a transition month if you are moving accounts.

Questions before your next step.

Does appearing here mean MITEY recommends this provider?

No. A directory entry and a dated fee record do not assess suitability, financial strength, customer service, approval likelihood or all of your costs. You decide which questions and sources matter to your situation.

What should I check if the institution changed names?

Identify the legal provider on your own agreement or statement. Read its official transition instructions before changing a login, payment instruction or account. Legal amalgamation, product migration and a brand change can happen on different dates.

Does a listed brand have its own deposit-insurance limit?

Do not assume so. Check the legal deposit-taker, eligible product, ownership category and current insurance rules. Several brands can belong to one institution; a fintech arrangement can involve a separate bank or trust company.
