Do you have a fixed deposits

[nomad]

Fixed deposit is a saving account where you lock your cash for certain months/years and earn higher interest compared to a normal saving account. Do you have fixed deposit bank account?

I have some wallets and online banks that has these features, so I make use of them instead of opening a fixed deposit account from my bank.

Yes, I have a fixed deposit of particular amount but I think it's not a good option to invest in FD as thre is less interest rate on it.

I have not tried it yet. Although my younger sister is having it with her dollar account in a bank.

About a year ago, banks were giving upto 13 percent interest on fixed deposit in our country, and how they have cut it to 7 percent.

The cut is almost half. This is the problem after the pandemic. They had changed drastically.

That's the problem. The interest rate is too low these days for FD. People here don't do FDs now a days instead they go for mutual funds.

For me l don't have more money to keep depositing in the fixed deposit accounts in banks.

 

[Sawe]

Yes, I have a fixed account on my mobile money account. I am currently saving some money for two months I will use to buy a new laptop.

 

[King Belieal]

I don't yet have a fixed deposit but I am intending to open one soon. I think I need to start locking up some funds for my business.

 

[Springtime]

Yes, I have a fixed deposit account. As the US has raised interest rates a few times, HK dollar is pegged with US dollar, the interest rate for fixed deposit is pretty high these days.

 

[Sanjeev]

I don't block my money in FDs now a days as they don't provide much money after the maturity. I feel better to invest my money in mutual funds or stock market.

 

[Hate2Wait]

I have a couple of FD's and may not get these extended because I feel its not a good option looking at the increase in the inflation

I also have on FD which will mature in October or so and I am not going to extend it. I will invest that money somewhere else.

I don't have fixed deposits. I don't tend to like it. You would have money and you can't access it even when you are under emergency.

After buying a car it left me some money and I had idea last few days deposit it on 6 months with 0.02% interest. It looks very small. Also in August I will know details of new contract so I will decide then.

It is also the same thing here. Although I have a bank account that it does need to have maintaining balance.
