Deposits

Finding the right deposit account for your needs will keep your money working for you. Typically banks offer three main types of deposit accounts;

• Transaction accounts where your funds are immediately available and liquid. These accounts typically offer low interest rates
• Savings accounts may have certain restrictions or fees for multiple withdrawals but offer a slightly higher interest rate
• A money market account usually requires a higher minimum balance than a savings account and offers a higher interest rate in line with the money markets. The account typically offers the same benefits as savings accounts and cheque writing ability
• Term deposits restrict withdrawals for a certain time period which can vary from 30 days to 5 years. There are penalty fees for early withdrawals before the time period has expired. These accounts will offer the highest interest rate
