PLEASE,,THE LIST ABOVE(FIXED DEPOSIT),IS THE RATE IN MONTHLY OR ANNUALLY???

Re: CBN report on Average deposit rates of Nigerian banks as at July12 2013

Fixed deposit rates are on an annual basis and not monthly

Re: CBN report on Average deposit rates of Nigerian banks as at July12 2013

Thanks so much for the response,,,i really appreciate that from you,,you are doing good job and God bless you.
Please i have another question

Is there any difference between a FIXED DEPOSIT ACCOUNT AND WHEN a FIXED DEPOSIT is made directly from a SAVINGS ACCOUNT
The reason being,,i went to UBA, i saw it on their board that the interest rate on any amount greater than 100,000 Naira will be 6% for a fixed deposit for a period of 30 DAYS. So i made a fixed deposit with 500,000 Naira for 90 days and i was given the certificate showing the transaction and the maturity date is on it,I am hoping to get 30,000 Naira per month with that and 90,000 Naira for the 90 days,in this case,it is not yearly,,why i'm confused.
Please enlighten me more.
THANKS

Are you saying that UBA gives you 6% per month on Fixed deposit? I don't think any bank does that. Most of the rates I know are based on yearly basis unless you are talking about microfinance banks.

One other question I have for you is, have you been paid the N90,000 you expected?

I have fixed deposit in union bank on july 17,they give me 7.75 percent for 6 month,y

Re: CBN report on Average deposit rates of Nigerian banks as at July12 2013

It depends on your capital. The more capital you bring, the higher the interest rate they could give you. You should have made an inquiry first on their rates and know if they vary with capital or not.

Hello,i just want to ask u again,it fixed deposit annual or monthly,becos the one my friend is doin is monthly..thx

Re: CBN report on Average deposit rates of Nigerian banks as at July12 2013

You can do fixed deposit for monthly or yearly. It depends on how you want it but you should know that for monthly, the interest you'll earn will be the annual interest divided by 12

MF banks are much smaller banks and you can simply open a FD account with them by applying for it. Although they are not as financially strong as commercial banks, they offer higher rates.

It is not too small and would be better not to put it in just an ordinary savings account.
