Are you a first-time saver? Or are you looking for ways to grow your savings with minimal risk? There’s no need to worry because Time Deposit might be the perfect financial solution for you. Here’s a beginner’s guide on how to maximize your savings with Time Deposit. 

 

 

What are Time Deposits?

 

Time Deposit, also known as a Fixed Deposit or Term Deposit, is a savings account locked in a fixed period. When you open a time deposit account, you need to agree to deposit a sum of money for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or 2 years — depending on your preferred length of time and bank’s terms and conditions. In return, the bank will give you a higher interest rate than a regular savings account.
 

Why is Time Deposit the ideal option for beginners?

 

Time Deposit offers have a lot of better benefits for people who are looking to grow their savings:

 

  • Higher Interest Rates: The longer you keep your money in a Time Deposit account, the higher interest rate you will earn compared to traditional savings accounts. 
 
  • Predictable Return of Investment: You can accurately predict your returns and plan for your future goals because the interest is fixed on your account. 
 
  • Better Financial Discipline: Committing to a time deposit will encourage you to save more for your life goals.

If you’re still undecided to open a savings account, here are some tips on how to maximize your savings:

 

  • Shop for the best bank that suits your needs - Different banks may offer varying interest rates, make sure to compare all your options to ensure you’re getting the best deal.

     

  • Choose a flexible term that aligns with your life goals - If you anticipate needing your funds soon, opt for a shorter term. If you’re working on bigger and long-term goals, save for a longer term.

     

  • Reinvest your earnings - At maturity, consider rolling over your principal and interest into a new time deposit to take advantage of compound interest.
