A fixed rate savings account provides a set interest rate when it matures.
Businesses that use fixed rate savings accounts cannot access the money they deposit before the term ends.
Businesses cannot withdraw money from a fixed savings account. Money must remain invested until maturity in accordance with the product terms and conditions.
However, if you require urgent access to your funds or if there is an exceptional circumstance please contact us to discuss your options.
Locking your business’s money away for a set period can have significant benefits. Here’s a rundown:
Better Planning
Businesses that know how much interest they will earn on their savings can plan future years’ cash flow better.
Protection against interest rate fluctuations
Fixed-term savings accounts offer businesses full protection against interest rate fluctuations, preventing lower rates from eating into returns.
More competitive rates
Locking money away for a pre-agreed period allows businesses to access more competitive, higher rates.
