RRSP loans are generally offered at interest close to the prime lending rate, which currently sits at 4.25 per cent. ... It's a relatively low-cost way to pay for your RRSPs if you find yourself strapped for cash at the deadline. There's also a trick you can employ to lower your debt costs via an RRSP loan. ... the big "catch-up" RRSP loans that some financial institutions offer are rarely a good idea. These loans, designed to allow investors who haven't contributed much to RRSPs in past years to make up for lost time by making a big lump-sum contribution, can saddle you with a debt for years. 3, record 2, English, - RRSP%20loan
