How does it work?

Automatic bank withdrawals are quick to set up and simple to use. Saving regularly, a little bit at a time, is much easier on the budget.

Your contributions are automatically withdrawn from your bank account at set intervals. You decide how much you want to save, up to a maximum of $500 per month, and you can make changes directly via your online account as your needs and savings goals evolve.

You'll receive 30% in tax credits on your RRSP+[1] at the end of the fiscal year when you file your income tax return.

Automatic bank withdrawals are also possible if you have a spousal RRSP+ or a non-RRSP+ account with the Fonds.

Note:

Cessation of new automatic bank withdrawals agreements

It will not be possible to set up new preauthorized withdrawals or to increase current preauthorized withdrawals for the current financial year.

This measure does not affect contributions made through payroll deductions or existing preauthorized withdrawal agreements.

    The acquisition of shares of the Fonds de solidarité FTQ may give rise to labour-sponsored fund tax credits. The tax credits amount to 30%, namely 15% at the Quebec level and 15% at the federal level, and are limited to $1,500 per fiscal year, which represents a $5,000 purchase of shares of the Fonds de solidarité FTQ. On March 1, 2024, The Government of Québec announced in Information Bulletin 2024-3 that tax legislation would be amended to postpone by three years the rule providing that the tax credit would be available only to individuals whose taxable income for a given taxation year was below the highest tax rate. Please note that this postponement may be subject to legislative changes.

    Please read the prospectus before buying Fonds de solidarité FTQ shares. Copies of the prospectus may be obtained on the Website fondsftq.com, from a local representative or at the offices of the Fonds de solidarité FTQ. The shares of the Fonds de solidarité FTQ are not guaranteed, their value changes and past performance may not be repeated.
