The new Concentra promo that began January 29 ends on January 30, 2020.
Here is a screenshot of the rates effective January 31, 2020

Thanks, Stephen. If you have an existing application submitted, they will have to honour the existing rate. In short, if you haven't submitted it yet, get in today to qualify. 🙂
Nevertheless, these are just short-term gyrations in their promo GIC rates, likely because they've already exceeded their demand. They are mindful of the effect this has on their bottom line; their CEO is the former CEO of Coast Capital Savings who was, before that, the CFO of Coast Capital Savings.
Even with this rate drop, they are still the #2 and #3 on the GIC comparison chart, so they should be added to the chart forthwith. They've had 1-year GIC rates in line with or above the highest of the Manitoba CUs consistently since December 1st.
With Concentra, you are getting an A rated credit on your deposits; the Manitoba CUs can't even claim that rock-solid creditworthiness.
Cheers,
Doug

Looks like Concentra Bank GIC rates is not steady. Checked today and already not the same as last Friday.
1 year - 2.80%
18 months - 2.82%
Not sure I can keep up with their pace of change.
It also appears this website is meant for signing up *new* customer only.
So email/phone afterwards ... for subsequent new GICs?

If your application is submitted, they will honour the rate for you, but you can always phone and clarify.
Sidebar: For what it's worth, Concentra Bank has, unequivocally, the best customer service I've ever received from a virtual banking operation. Moreover, their online account onboarding and opening process was the slickest ever. Submitted application last Wednesday; processed within minutes; GIC opened the next day and funding request submitted; by Friday it was set up and funds were in the GIC. I received online banking access early Monday morning. No concerns whatsoever.
As the highest, or second-highest, GIC issuer, Peter, you need to speedily add them to the GIC chart, to the FI forums section (as Concentra Bank), and to the "profiles" page. Thanks! 
Cheers,
Doug
