How can we assist you today?

Unlike traditional FDs where interest is paid at maturity or periodically, UIFD gives you the full interest payout at the start, providing immediate liquidity while your principal is preserved until maturity.

This account is ideal for:

• Individuals seeking low-risk, fixed-income investments
• Businesses needing upfront liquidity for operations
• Retirees and High Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) wanting predictable returns
• Treasury managers optimizing cash flow

You gain:

• Immediate cash flow for reinvestment or expenses
• Better financial planning with predictable returns
• Higher flexibility compared to traditional FDs
