What is a Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) plan?

A Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) plan is your key to achieving your financial goals effortlessly. Whether it's saving for retirement, purchasing your dream home, or securing your child's education, PAC plans make it all possible without breaking a sweat.

To start a Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) plan, simply provide your written authorization to your financial advisor at Christian Credit Union and Aviso Wealth. Once authorized, they will transfer a specific amount from your account every month on an agreed-upon date.

The cool part is you don't have to worry about manually making these contributions each time. The money is automatically whisked away from your account and sent straight to your chosen investment. It's like setting your savings on autopilot!

By automating your contributions, you'll cultivate a regular saving habit without lifting a finger. Plus, we understand life can throw unexpected surprises, so you have the freedom to adjust your contribution amount or pause the plan if needed. Just give your advisor enough notice to make the change, and we've got you covered.

In a nutshell, Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) plans make saving and investing a breeze. Get ready to watch your financial dreams become a reality by setting your savings on autopilot with PAC plans.

5 benefits for setting up a Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) plan

  1. Faster savings growth: PACS help you plan and calculate the time needed to reach your goals while with the potential of growth on top of your contributions.
  2. Stress-free saving: Automatic contributions reduce financial stress and boost confidence in achieving your goals, including RRSP and TFSA contributions.
  3. Budget control: PACs promote "pay yourself first" mentality, resisting unnecessary spending, and allowing easy adjustments to contributions.
  4. Early start advantage: Starting early means less catching up later and more opportunity for growth over time.
  5. Lower investment costs: PACs enable dollar-cost averaging, strategically navigating market fluctuations with regular contributions.
