Frequently asked questions
- Is locking money for five years wise?
- Only for money you will not need during that whole period, and if the difference with shorter terms is worth it. Five years is long: if rates rise, you stay stuck with the old one.
- Does accrued interest count towards the deposit guarantee?
- Yes. For large amounts, allow for the interest that accrues over five years so that your balance stays under €100,000 per bank.
- Can I spread a long term?
- Yes: divide your money over 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years, for example. Then a part is released every year that you can lock again or use.
