Although these rates are very high, it does depend how much money you have in. I know that when I went to Iktisbank once about increasing my rate,(they were advertising high rates) they said I did not have enough money in the account. So to get this 12%, do you have to put your money on deposit for 6 months?

I think I am right in saying that you do not get any extra interest from subscribing to a long term savings account in fact usually the interest rate for a long term account is slightly lower than a monthly savings account but the benefit is that taking out a 6 or 12 month savings account will ensure that the interest rate given at the opening of the account will be guaranteed for the term regardless of change to the Central banks interest rate where as with a monthly savings account the interest you earn could fluctuate monthly. There may be other limitations with a long term savings account as when I last checked you could not take out any interest until the term was complete. But of course that could vary from bank to bank. One other thing is that some banks offer 31 day accounts (some even 32 days) which means that the interest date payable will change from month to month (depending on the amount of days in that month) Cont.

cont:

And some banks will offer a pure monthly account where the interest is available to draw down on the last day of the month but of course depending on the amount of days in that month will dictate how much interest you will receive. So you will need to determine what is best for you and you need to ask all of the relevant questions to make sure you get what you want.

It seems some members are happy to inform all of their disposable income - I'm waiting for the "I've got £1M quid where can I get the best interest?" and he'll be my next best friend!!!

I moved my account from Iktisat Bank to Creditwest Karaoğlanoğlu branch last month. I did not move my account because I got a better rate but because I felt trusting of Creditwest. The staff speak perfect English and the service is excellent.

I’v also checked out the recent interest rates here in Cyprus and it seems that it is much more varied than before . It is better to mesure your interest rate with the treasury bills which is a bench mark for most of the economies. I feel that the fluctuation of the interest rates in some banks are just for a short period. I don’t feel relaxed where the bench mark is 9 or 9.5% when some of the banks here offer 12 or 12.5%. As long as I believe I am getting a fair interest rate, nothing will budge me from Creditwest where I am getting a high standard of service.
