Welcome to the 2014 Canada Savings Bonds (CSB) Payroll Savings Program!

Saving for a rainy day is not always easy. That’s why the University of Toronto participates in the Canada Savings Bonds (CSB) Payroll Savings Program – a service that helps our employees reach their financial goals.

Why Enrol in the Payroll Saving Program?

The Canada Savings Bonds (CSB) Payroll Savings Program allows employees to contribute to a Payroll Savings Plan at their place of work through automatic payroll deductions.

Specifically, this provides U of T employees with:

• A free and secure way to save for themselves or a loved one;
• An easy way to save money for things they really want, big or small – employees can contribute as little as $2 per week;
• Access to an online account. Without hassle. Without fees; and,
• Access year-round to their money online.

Enroling in the 2014 Program

Employees may sign up for the 2014 Payroll Savings Program between October 1 – November 1, 2014.

The deadline to setup a new account or make changes to an existing plan is November 1, 2014, 8:00 p.m. ET.
