Rate news from the Bank of Canada. Here's what to check if you have a variable-rate mortgage or a HELOC.
On October 28, 2026, the Bank of Canada raised its policy interest rate by 0.25 points to 2.50%.
Prime-based products like variable-rate mortgages and HELOCs usually follow the Bank's decisions. Three things worth reviewing now:
• Your current rate and payment
• Your renewal date
• Your prepayment privileges
