3-month deposit

Frequently asked questions
- Is a three-month deposit worth it?
- Only if the fixed rate is higher than what the best instant-access account pays over those three months. The difference is often small; in return, your rate cannot fall in the meantime.
- How much interest do I get in three months?
- A quarter of the annual rate. At 2.8% a year that is about 0.7% of your deposit. The amounts in the list are calculated for your amount.
- What happens after three months?
- Usually the money and the interest return to your linked account or savings account. Some banks renew automatically at the rate of that moment; check that when opening.
