Frequently asked questions

  • 1. What is a savings account

    A savings account allows you to deposit money and earn interest on the amount deposited over a period of time that you choose. There are three basic types of savings accounts which are: instant access, notice deposit, and fixed deposit accounts. These types of accounts are available at most banks and financial institutions.

  • 2. How does a savings account work

    An individual deposits capital into a savings account at a bank or financial institution for an agreed-upon time period and at an agreed-upon interest rate. At the end of the agreed-upon period, the capital and interest earned can be withdrawn or re-invested. 

  • 3. Does your money grow in a savings account

    Yes, there is potential for growth depending on the agreed-upon interest rate, time period, and initial capital amount deposited. 

  • 4. Can you lose your money in a savings account

    It is important to do your homework and read the terms and conditions of the bank or financial institution that you have deposited your capital with. In some cases, a monthly fee is charged which will erode your capital. Some banks however do not charge monthly fees in which case you should not lose money in a savings account. 

  • 5. Can you withdraw money from a savings account

    Yes. If you withdraw money from your savings account after your chosen notice period you should not incur any penalty fees. If however, you choose to withdraw money before your notice period ends, you may be charged a penalty fee. 

  • 6. How much may I withdraw from savings

    This is dependent on the savings product that you have chosen.
