NEW: The Hybrid Fixed Deposit Account - for flexible access and great returns
Want to earn more on your savings without locking away your money? Discovery Bank's new Hybrid Fixed Deposit Account combines competitive interest rates with instant access to a portion of your funds - giving you flexibility and control while you grow your wealth.
If you've ever wished your fixed deposit could give you great returns and flexible access when you need it, Discovery Bank's new Hybrid Fixed Deposit Account is designed for you.
This innovative savings option gives you the best of both worlds - the stability of a fixed deposit with the freedom of partial access to your funds. You can now lock in a competitive interest rate and still access up to 30% of your money instantly, without waiting periods or penalties.
What is the Discovery Bank Hybrid Fixed Deposit Account?
The Hybrid Fixed Deposit Account combines the benefits of two popular savings products - a fixed deposit (for stable, higher returns) and a demand savings account (for flexible access). With this account, you can:
- Earn a competitive, fixed interest rate for the full investment term.
- Immediate acces to up to 30% of your deposit. Pick a term that fits your goals, from 3 to 24 months.
- Start investing from just R10,000 - giving you flexibility to grow your savings at your own pace.
How does the Hybrid Fixed Deposit work?
When you open your Hybrid Fixed Deposit Account, you'll decide:
- How much to invest.
- How long to invest for - between 3 and 24 months.
- How much of your investment you want to keep accessible - 10%, 20%, or 30%.
The rest of your funds will remain fixed for the term you choose, earning an attractive locked-in rate. This means you'll enjoy both the higher interest of a fixed term investment and the flexibility of on-demand access to part of your money.
