These rates all looked very good when they first came out a month ago, but they have all since been exceeded by other FIs - including by WealthOne itself through deposit brokers!

Does anyone know of a better offer for registered funds? I have a decent chunk due mar 7 with a broker and judging by monarch’s web site I don’t think I’ll be offered anything at or above 3%… which for registered funds would make this the highest offer I know. Wealth one will not hold 3.18 rate if funds mature after March 1st . They did not have a problem with feb 28 and funds xfer by May 1 they would hold a rate if paperwork in March 1. Funds mature mar 2 and they not able to

As far as I know, you're right; there is nothing above WealthOne for five years registered - today.
Maybe just hang in a bit longer and something might show up. Right now it seems the shorter terms are where the action is, but there is a lot of movement overall.

What are the minimums on those leading rates?

GIC Wealth's site says their 3.2% rate for a five year GIC is minimum $50,000.

Looked on Fiscal Agents site. Their best five-year GIC rate is 3% with a minimum $90,000!

For the past few weeks, it seems that Wealth One Bank has been consistently aggressive in offering highest or almost highest rates WITH BROKERS/AGENTS for non-registered GICs. Does this raise any concern about Wealth One's financial stability?

Why do you feel that Wealth One's use of GIC brokers is an indicator of instability?

W1 might just be using brokers because they are nearing the limit/end of their fundraising plans and want the flexibility to end the program on very short notice; their own advertised efforts may be less responsive.
