- Along the way, at any time, you can change the target date as long as you don't exceed the maximum maturity date, and the amount and frequency of transfers.

- In non-registered versions of the product (non-RRSP and non-TFSA), friends and family may make transfers up to 50% of your savings goal amount toward your savings goal.
Interest

Bonus when savings goal amount is reached
- To qualify for the bonus when savings goal is reached, you must have achieved your savings goal no later than the maximum maturity date. The bonus is calculated based on the total amount of annual bonuses earned since the date of issue at the rate

Redemption before the maximum maturity date
- Term savings are redeemable before the maximum maturity date in full only. Redemption puts an end to the term savings. By redeeming your term savings before reaching your savings goal amount, you forfeit the bonus granted when savings goal is achieved.
Reimbursement
When the savings goal is reached, the amounts accumulated, including interest and bonuses accrued through the Enhanced Savings Plan, will be transferred the next day into a Savings Accounts (non-registered or RRSP) or into a TFSA Savings Account, depending on the plan.
