Benefits that Come with a Savings Account

A savings account is more than just a safe place to keep your hard-earned money. It gives you security, protection, the opportunity to earn and make your money grow, along with other perks that you can enjoy. All these advantages can certainly help you in your journey towards your financial goals. Here are some benefits that you can take advantage of when you open a savings account. 

Interest

Your savings can turn into earnings when they are placed in a bank. Through interest, your savings grow as the bank pays you when you deposit your money in your savings account. Since the interest rate differs per bank, it is important to know where you can earn the most. In traditional banks, your savings can typically grow as low as 0.01% per annum (p.a.) and as high as 1% p.a., whereas the interest rates in all-digital banking platforms are usually higher ranging from 2% p.a. to 4% p.a.  

Promos and Perks

In line with the interest that banks give, many also offer special and exclusive promos that give you a chance to earn more. When you fit a certain criteria, banks can offer you an even higher interest for your money. Imagine how much you can earn because of a 5% p.a. special promo instead of the usual amount. Your savings account can also lead to the bank offering you more products you’re eligible for, such as credit. Additionally, you can also get a debit card to be able to access your money through ATMs and make purchases easily.     

Life Insurance

With changing times must come new innovations. Many banks don’t only provide a safe place to keep your savings, but also offer extra protection in the form of life insurance. While some banks sell insurance, others tie it up with their savings products for free. This certainly raises awareness on the importance of being protected with basic insurance and helps more people in their quest for better financial planning.
