Fixed deposit account

You may opt:

• for automatic renewal, or
• provide instruction to transfer your funds upon maturity to your savings account from the start.

If you choose automatic renewal, the prevailing fixed deposit interest rate on the date of maturity will apply and keep your savings growing.

You can also update maturity instructions either through Internet Banking or at your branch 3 days prior to the maturity date. Note however that your fixed deposit can be renewed up to a period not exceeding 7 years after original maturity date.

In case, no instructions have been provided at maturity (i.e. for renewal of the fixed deposit or transfer of funds to your savings account ), the current savings rate will then be applied. 

You can withdraw before term. Note that a penalty fee will apply as per tariff of charges.
