Niverville Credit Union, Manitoba | GIC discussions | Discussion forum

JenE said
Just seen: 1 year cashable GIC 2%, minimum $5,000. No penalty for cashing early. Apparently this rate has been offered for a while.
CAUTION: when I used Safari to check out the offer, I was warned that the page I was on could be fraudulent. I ended up phoning the CU for information and also reported what had happened to me.  

Thanks, JenE. Certificate appears valid in Chromium-based web browsers, so not sure what the issue is. Sounds like an issue with the Safari web browser.

As for Niverville, yes, they come highly recommended. I have been trying to get Peter to create a profile page and FI forum, and to adding them to the GIC Chart as they meet all our criteria in spades (and have for some time now), as have Fusion Credit Union and Noventis Credit Union in terms of GICs. Likewise, Access, Steinbach, and Rosenort all meet the criteria for GICs, just not for HISAs, but there's nothing saying we can't have FIs in the GIC Chart and not the HISA Chart (i.e., Tangerine and Simplii, to name a couple).

BELOW IS THE WORDING OF THE WARNING - it also occurs with Firefox

"Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to nivervillecu.mb.ca. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for nivervillecu.mb.ca. The certificate is only valid for http://www.nivervillecu.mb.ca.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

View Certificate"  

I can confirm the certificate is valid in Google Chrome and all Chromium-based web browsers (tested on Vivaldi). Could be an issue with the way Firefox and Safari are handling certificates. Interestingly, I tested it on "niverville.mb.ca" and "www.niverville.mb.ca," but if you're concerned, just visit "niverville.mb.ca" in those web browsers until it is fixed. Pretty minor issue, really.

Doug
