Frequently Asked Questions

  • When is the interest paid on fixed term deposit account?

    Your deposit plus any interest is paid into your linked Coutts Crown Dependencies Account/Currency Account on the maturity date.

    The maturity date is the date at which the fixed term ends.

  • What’s better for me: a fixed term savings account or instant access savings?

    A fixed term account will usually offer a higher interest rate than an instant access product because you’re locking your money away for a specified term. The interest rates depend on the length of the term – in other words, how long you agree to lock your money away for. Usually, longer terms offer higher interest rates.

    When you open a fixed term account you usually deposit a lump sum, and then that’s it – you don’t add more savings over time.

    Instant access savings accounts are usually more flexible, because you can withdraw whenever you want,you don’t need to pay in a single lump sum, you can save regularly when you want – but usually the interest rate is lower compared with fixed term savings accounts.

    If you’re looking for higher interest rates but don’t want to lock your money away for a set period of time, we also offer a fixed notice account. This savings account allows you to set the amount of notice you give us before withdrawing your money (35, 60 or 95 days) but usually offers a higher interest rate than instant access accounts.

    If you’re not sure fixed term is for you, have a look at our other savings accounts.

  • How do I re-invest my cash once my Fixed Term Deposit Account matures?

    Contact your private banker to discuss the options available to you for re-investment.
