CornerstoneCU - Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSA)

A TFSA is more than a regular savings account.

TFSA's are a great way to save for both short and long term goals such as for a vehicle purchase, the vacation you have been dreaming of, and especially your retirement goals.

The annual TFSA limit for 2023 is $6,500 and the 2024 limit is $7,000. For full details about your contribution limit, please visit the CRA website.
