Maximize your coverage

The maximum protection for eligible deposits at Tangerine is $100,000 per name registration (principal and interest combined).

In addition, CDIC provides separate insurance protection for joint deposits ($100,000 collectively, not per individual), deposits held in R R S P's ($100,000, principal and interest combined) and TFSA deposits ($100,000, principal and interest combined).

To keep things simple, below are some examples of how multiple Account registrations can help maximize your coverage:

Jane is a Tangerine Client and has the following single registrations with us:

Example of Single Accounts
Name Registration Deposit Type Account Balance
Jane Tangerine Savings Account $75,000
Jane Guaranteed Investment (GIC) $25,000
Jane RSP Savings Account $100,000
Jane Tax-Free Savings Account $100,000
Total Deposits $300,000
Amount Insured $300,000

Single registration Accounts are eligible for CDIC insurance up to $100,000. Note that Jane's RSP Savings Account counts towards another $100,000 in coverage and her TFSA Account is also covered for $100,000. All of Jane's Accounts are insured with CDIC in this example.

John and Mary provide another example of Tangerine Clients with the following single Accounts, RSP Accounts as well as joint Accounts with us:

Example of Multiple Accounts
Name Registration Deposit Type Account Balance
Mary Tangerine Savings Account $100,000
Mary RSP Savings Account $100,000
Mary Tax-Free Savings Account $100,000
John Tax-Free Guaranteed Investment (GIC) $100,000
John Guaranteed Investment (GIC) $100,000
John RSP Guaranteed Investment $100,000
Mary & John Tangerine Savings Account $100,000
Total Deposits $700,000
Amount Insured $700,000

Single Account registrations are eligible for CDIC insurance up to $100,000. Joint Accounts are also covered for up to $100,000 (collectively with the same name registrations, not per individual). So, in this example, John and Mary have 100% insurance coverage with CDIC.
All amounts include principal and interest.
