Term deposit - what it is?

A term deposit is the process of keeping a specific amount of money in a financial institution for an agreed period of time. The institution pays interest for the time they hold the money. The amount of interest and the payout frequency are determined on the day of signing the deposit contract. Remember that term deposits cannot be terminated until the agreed period of time passes, and no interest will be paid upon early termination.

A term deposit is one of the most reliable ways to generate passive income and to get your money that you set aside for saving working for you. Since the interest rate is agreed in advance, any financial institution is committed to it for the agreed period. This way, your money doesn’t lose value due to inflation or other market changes.

Term deposit is a financial tool that allows you to keep a specific amount of money in a bank or other financial institution for an agreed period of time, for which the bank or other financial institution pays interest.

This is one of the most stable ways to get passive income and get your money working for you. With term deposits, your money won’t lose so much value due to inflation or other market changes. Irrevocable term deposit can only be cancelled and taken out before term under special circumstances.

A big difference between a term deposit account and a savings account is the fixed term and a fixed interest rate.

A fixed interest rate means that you are guaranteed a specific return on your savings at the end of your deposit and the interest rate will not fluctuate. For savings accounts the interest rates are not fixed and can fluctuate based on the market.

Term deposits also offer higher interest rates in general than savings accounts, since you commit to keep your money on the account for a longer period.

Yes, all term deposits up to €100,000 per person are insured. Note that the limit is per person and not per term deposit agreement.

The shortest term of the term deposit is 6 months, the longest is 60 months.

The minimum term deposit amount is 10,000 SEK and the maximum is 900,000 SEK.

A bank transfer is required to make a deposit at Saldo Bank. Cash deposit is not possible.

You only need to fill out the application, identify yourself and sign the contract remotely on our website. The process of signing the contract is completely remote.

A fixed-term deposit cannot be withdrawn before the agreed maturity date of the deposit.

Accrued interest is paid on the following bank date of the due date of the deposit together with the initial deposit.

No, the term deposit cannot be extended but it can be renewed for the same term but with the updated interest rate for that specific day.

After you enter into a term deposit agreement, all information about your deposit, including accrued interest and contracts, will be available on our internet bank.

The process of entering into the contract is completely remote. You can fill out the application, identify yourself and sign the contract remotely on our website www.saldo.com.

The current interest rate for a 12 month term deposit is 3,80 %, but interest rates are subject to change.

After signing the term deposit agreement, you will have 10 days to transfer the deposit amount to the provided bank account.

When your deposit expires, the accrued interest and the initial deposit are transferred to your account. If the due date is a holiday, the transfer will be made the following bank day.
