First Home Savings Account (FHSA)

Why an FHSA is Basically the Perfect Love Story

Alright, imagine this: The TFSA and the RRSP meet at a financial conference. Sparks fly. They realize they have so much in common—tax advantages, helping Canadians save money, making dreams come true. One thing leads to another, and boom! The First Home Savings Account (FHSA) was born. The ultimate power couple’s financial lovechild.

At Prosperity Credit Union, we know a good deal when we see one and trust us—the FHSA is a total catch. It takes the best traits from its parents (TFSA’s tax-free withdrawals and RRSP’s tax-deductible contributions) and combines them into the ultimate savings powerhouse for first-time homebuyers.

Why The FHSA is a Game-Changer

Works Well with Others

You can pair it with the RRSP Home Buyers’ Plan and other incentives for even bigger savings.

Is the FHSA Your Perfect Match?

If you’re between 18 and 71, a Canadian resident, and don’t own a home yet—congratulations, you’re the ideal match. Even if homeownership feels like a distant dream, starting now gives you a major advantage.
