Banking
Manulife Bank offers high‑interest everyday banking and savings options, including the Advantage Account, TFSA Advantage Account, and U.S. Dollar Advantage Account, all designed to give you strong interest rates and easy access to your money.
Insurance
We offer access to a full range of personal and corporate insurance solutions—including life insurance, disability insurance, and critical illness insurance—to help protect your income, your family, your business, and your long-term financial plans.
Life insurance provides a tax-free lump-sum payment to your beneficiaries when you pass away, helping them cover expenses, replace income, pay off debts, or plan for the future. It’s designed to offer peace of mind by protecting the people who depend on you financially.
Disability insurance replaces part of your income if an illness or injury prevents you from working, providing a monthly, tax-free benefit to help cover everyday expenses. It helps maintain your lifestyle and financial stability during a period where your ability to earn income is affected.
Critical illness insurance pays a one-time, tax-free lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a covered serious illness—such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke. You can use the benefit however you need, whether that’s medical costs, debt payments, travel for treatment, or taking time to focus on recovery.
Together, these insurance solutions help protect every part of your financial life—your family, your income, and your future—so you’re supported when life takes an unexpected turn.
Investments
We offer access to a full range of investment and protection solutions—including segregated funds, mutual funds, guaranteed investments, and annuities—to help you build and protect your wealth with confidence.
Segregated funds are insurance-based investments that work like mutual funds but include valuable guarantees. They pool your money into professionally managed portfolios while also offering 75% to 100% protection of your original investment at maturity or death, along with potential estate and creditor-protection benefits.
Mutual funds provide diversified, professionally managed portfolios designed for long-term growth. They offer a wide range of investment strategies to help match your goals, risk tolerance, and timeline.
Guaranteed options—such as GICs or guaranteed investment funds—help protect your principal while still giving you predictable, stable growth. Many investors use these to anchor their portfolio with safety and certainty.
Annuities provide guaranteed income payments—either for life or for a set period—helping create stable, worry-free income when you need it most, especially in retirement.
Together, these solutions allow you to build a balanced financial strategy that supports both growth and protection at every stage of life.
