Youth Monthly Savings Plan (MSP)
A Youth MSP is a plan that was introduced in 2004 as a means of helping youth reach their savings goals. When signing up for a Youth MSP, he of she chooses a savings goal in multiples of $10. Each month, he or she then deposits a monthly contribution and it is applied to a MSP account. Twelve months later, he or she will have met this savings goal and can spend it or deposit it into another account.
Not only is a Youth MSP a more disciplined way to save, it also has an interest rate 1/4% higher than the competitive market.
