Your client’s scenario: The B2B Bank solution:
They don’t have the necessary funds to make a contribution… Variable rate RSP loans can be amortized for up to 10 years to make payments more affordable for your clients.
They want to maximize this year’s (and/or previous years’) RRSP contribution… Our RSP loans have no loan maximums, so your clients can borrow as much as they need, regardless of how much unused contribution room they have.
They’ve decided (at the last minute) to make a contribution...
 		 Apply online for an RSP loan and you can provide your clients with a decision within seconds.1 If approved, their loan will be funded typically within one business day of receiving original documentation.
