Redeeming Funds

Find out how and when you can redeem your funds, which series to redeem and how to sign up for Direct Deposit. Watch a quick video on how to redeem your funds on CSB Online Services.



How to Redeem


You can redeem your funds at any time online by following these steps:

Log in to CSB Online Services and select Redemption from the left navigation menu.
From the Redemption screen, select the Plan from which you want to redeem.
Choose the bond series to redeem and enter the amount in that row. Select Continue.
Review your redemption request and select Confirm.
You can also use the automated telephone service to complete your redemption by dialing the Payroll Savings Program (Employees) Customer Service number and following the prompts to complete your redemption. Please have your 10-digit Plan number starting with a “2” as you will be required to enter it. Take note of the statutory holidays as the automated telephone service is available during certain holidays.

Access to Funds

Up to 4 business days if you are set up for Direct Deposit.
7 to 10 business days if a cheque is mailed.
Joint Plans / Third-Party Plans

If funds are held in a Joint Plan, a cheque will be issued in both Plan owners’ names, in which case both signatures will be required to cash in the cheque, or funds can be deposited directly in a bank account that is held in both owners’ names.
If funds are held in a Third-Party Plan, only the registered owner, not the contributor, has access to the funds.

When to Redeem


You can redeem your bonds at any time prior to maturity; however, you must redeem a minimum of $100 per series or the entire balance of that series, whichever is less. Note that your most recent payroll contribution will be held for 15 days from the date the Bank of Canada receives your deduction from your employer.

As each bond series matures, the funds (principal and interest) for the matured series will automatically be paid out to the registered Plan owner by cheque or direct deposit, according to your account information. Ensure that your contact information is up to date on CSB Online Services. Once all the funds in your plan have been redeemed or paid out at maturity (e.g., plan balance $0) and your contributions have stopped, your account will be closed.

Which Series to Redeem


It is at your discretion which series to redeem from. The minimum redemption amount is $100 per series or the entire balance of a series, whichever is less.

When you redeem using the automated telephone service or when you speak to an agent and do not specify the series you wish to redeem from, the amount requested will be redeemed automatically in the following order:

The lowest series number
The series with the lowest current interest rate
The series that matures the earliest
The series with the lowest outstanding balance
Watch a quick video on how to interest is calculated on a bond series.

Sign up for Direct Deposit


If you have a Single Plan, you can sign up for Direct Deposit online by doing the following:

Log in to CSB Online Services.
Select Direct Deposit from the left navigation menu.
Select Set Up Direct Deposit (will appear if your Plan is eligible).
Enter your banking information. Select Continue.
Review your banking information and select Confirm.
If you have a Joint or Third-Party Plan, you must complete the Change of Address and Direct Deposit (COADD) Form. For Joint Plans, the bank account must be under the names of all Plan owners, and the form must be signed by all Plan owners.
