Introducing the FHSA
This Canadian Government registered plan is designed specifically to help you save for your first home, tax-free.
When you open an FHSA with Sunshine Coast Credit Union and start making deposits, it activates a contribution towards Affordable Housing Initiatives in the community, fostering a healthier housing economy for all.
Now that’s a full-circle moment!
Affordable Housing Resources
How does the FHSA work?
The FHSA combines the tax advantages of an RRSP and a TFSA while allowing people to save for their first home.
Like an RRSP, contributions to an FHSA are tax-deductible, so the same amount you contribute can be deducted from your taxable earnings. You can save up to $40,000 tax-free! Read more about FHSAs here.
All of our special rates are FHSA eligible. Want to know which registered product is right for you? Compare them now!
