Since 2008, Canadian Western Bank has been a proud supporter of Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies across Western Canada through The Greater Interest GIC®. Each year, CWB branches from Vancouver Island to Winnipeg gear up to promote the campaign from September 1 to October 31. Based on every dollar that clients invest in the product, Canadian Western Bank makes a donation of 1/8% back to the local Big Brothers Big Sisters chapter in the community where the deposits were raised. Since partnering with BBBS, CWB has donated over $625,000 to help facilitate meaningful mentorship opportunities for Canada’s youth.

In 2010, CWB broadened the distribution of its community-based GIC product to clients across Canada by offering the Key Giving GIC® through CWB’s Internet banking division, Canadian Direct Financial (CDF) www.canadiandirectfinancial.com. Based on every dollar that clients invest in the Key Giving GIC®, CDF will make a donation of 1/8% to the national chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters.
