Never heard of Parama. Does anyone have any feedback re dealing with them?
I did not see any mention of "me to me" transfers on their site - is their online banking efficient and not require manual intervention by an agent for transfers in and out.

Parama CU seems to be a traditional bricks-and-mortar branch credit union.

According to the offer fine print, an in-person visit is needed:

… To buy a Parama GIC you must be or become a member. Becoming a new member requires a visit in person to one of our west end Toronto branches. Please call for an appointment.

I don't think customer automated fund transfers (CAFT) are offered to personal banking members. I suspect one will have to open a Parama chequing account and initiate the push and pulls from the other financial institution.

One of their marketing people showed up here in 2019:
