What to watch out for when choosing a deposit

What to watch out for when opening a deposit

Breaking a deposit early usually means losing most or all of the accrued interest — only lock away money you're certain you won't need before the term ends. Check whether the promotional rate applies only to new money (funds not already held at the bank) — that's a common condition on the best offers. Also watch for automatic renewal at the end of the term — it sometimes rolls over into worse terms than the promotional offer you originally chose.

Do you need a bank account to open a deposit?

Usually yes — most banks require you to hold (or open at the same time) a personal account that the funds are paid into once the deposit matures. Opening the deposit itself just needs photo ID, and the whole process can usually be done online in a few minutes.

A fixed-term deposit guarantees a set interest rate for a defined period in exchange for locking your funds. Compare rates, minimum amounts, available terms and early withdrawal conditions.
