Multi-Currency Term Deposits
“I want a low risk deposit that I can access easily”
Multi Currency Term Deposits give you the flexibility to hold funds in a range of currencies while enjoying an attractive interest rate, and for different time frames in a capital stable deposit.
Dual Currency Investments*
“I want a higher rate of return than a conventional term deposit and don’t mind taking more risk. I’ve spoken to my independent adviser to confirm this is right for me.”
A Dual Currency Investments is an enhanced yield deposit designed to provide a higher return than a standard term deposit. Unlike an ordinary term deposit, which repays principal and interest, a Dual Currency Investments repays principal and interest in either of two agreed currencies depending on the prevailing exchange rate (between those two currencies) two business days prior to maturity.
It may be suitable for you if you are familiar with financial markets and are willing to accept a foreign exchange risk in return for the chance to gain a higher return. You would also be happy to receive the proceeds in either of the chosen currencies. You should seek specific independent deposit advice to determine whether this product is right for you.
