PACs
Put your investing on auto-pilot
What is a PAC?
A PAC or pre-authorized contribution is a simple - yet powerful - way to save. When you set up a PAC, you choose an amount to be automatically withdrawn from your spending account and deposited into your savings or investment account each month - or whenever you choose.
The perks and privilege of PACs
Reach your goalsThe difference between success and failure isn’t how much money you make, or how smart you are, but how well you conquer the all-too-human tendencies to procrastinate and under-save. Conquer them with a PAC.
Use one of our calculators to quickly and easily determine how much to save to reach your goal.

Reach them fasterWhen you contribute regularly, even if it’s just a little at a time, you’ll earn compound interest throughout the year (this means that you earn interest on your initial deposit and on the interest you’ve earned). That really adds up - or should we say multiplies - over time!

You're in controlPay yourself first with a PAC on pay day. By transferring money to your savings or investments automatically, a PAC plan helps you resist spending that cash on something you might not really need.
Plus, you aren't locked in to a commitment of any kind. You can change the amount you save, when you save or stop your PAC altogether, at any time.
