Frequently asked questions

  • 1. What is a fixed deposit account

    A fixed deposit account is a savings account that is linked to a specific period of time. Once the capital amount has been invested and the period has been chosen (eg 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 60 months) the interest rate is defined and locked in until the end of that chosen length of time. 

  • 2. How does a fixed deposit account work

    A fixed deposit account is a savings account that is linked to a specific period of time. Once the capital amount has been invested and the period has been chosen (eg 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 60 months) the interest rate is defined and locked in until the end of that chosen length of time. 

  • 3. What are the benefits of a fixed deposit

    The benefit of a fixed deposit account is that generally the interest earned is higher than that on an instant access or notice deposit account. The interest rate is locked in and does not change throughout the period. Most financial institutions offer a capital guarantee on the amount invested. 

  • 4. Can I get monthly interest on fixed deposit

    Yes. Depending on your financial institution you can either choose to get paid your interest monthly or compound your interest until the end of the period. 

  • 5. Is interest on a fixed deposit taxable

    Yes.

  • 6. Are there any tax restrictions on tax-free deposits?

    Yes. Amounts exceeding the tax-free allowance will be taxed in full.

  • 7. What is the risk of fixed deposit

    One risk of a fixed deposit is that your capital is locked away for the chosen period and you will not have access to this until the period has ended without incurring a penalty fee. Additional risks may exist depending on your particular financial institution.

  • 8. What is the minimum amount for fixed deposit

    The minimum amount for a fixed deposit depends on the financial institution you choose to save with as these vary.
