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.

What is the difference between a term deposit and a savings account?
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.
