RRIFs
When the time comes to start using your hard earned savings, a Quinte First Credit Union Retirement Income fund or RRIF is a great option. We offer fixed term, fixed rate investments at very competitive rates. Sit down with an investment advisor, select a term of 1 to 5 years and then pick the payment option that is right for your lifestyle.
What is an RRIF?
A Registered Retirement Income Fund is a retirement fund that pays out income to the owner. To fund their retirement, RRSP investors roll over their RRSP into an RRIF at the age of 71. RRIF payouts are considered a part of the owner's normal income and are taxed as such by the Canadian Revenue Agency in the year that the beneficiary receives payouts.
What are the Benefits of an RRIF?
Flexible Payment Options
Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires that you receive at least a minimum payment from your RRIF each year, but beyond that, your RRIF can be completely customized to meet your personal goals and budget requirements.
Competitive Interest Rates
Quinte First offers a variety of RRIF investment options at competitive interest rates. A Variable Rate RRIF offers an interest rate which will vary according to the marketplace, while a Fixed Term RRIF earns a fixed rate of interest for a period of time you select.
Maximum Control Over Your RRIF
One of the most appealing features of a RRIF is the amount of control you can exercise. If you need extra money for a financial emergency or any other purpose, you can make lump sum cash withdrawals from your RRIF.
RRIF Options
Guaranteed Plans
RRIF Deposits can be purchased from 1-5 years at competitive rates. Variable Rate Savings offer flexibility within your RRIF plan.
