How does it work?
Opening an Easisave Fixed Term Deposit can only be done online. In order to open an Easisave Fixed Term Deposit you must already have an activated Easisave Savings Account.
Once logged onto your online account, you must (i) choose from which Easisave Savings Account (in case you have more than one) you will retrieve the funds to be placed into your Fixed Term Deposit, (ii) enter the amount which you want to place into your Fixed Term Deposit (minimum amount of €1000/$1000), (iii) select the duration you want to invest your money for (Fixed Terms for 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year, 2 years or 3 years are available), (iv) select whether you want to receive your interest quarterly, annually or on maturity as applicable and (v) agree to the Easisave and FIMBank's Terms and Conditions.
On maturity, the funds placed in your Fixed Term Deposit will be sent back to your linked Easisave Savings Account. If upon opening your linked Easisave Savings Account you had requested that tax on interest be withheld, then the interest payable on your Easisave Fixed Term Deposit will also have tax deducted.
If upon maturity, you want to re-invest your money for another fixed period, you will need to open a new Easisave Fixed Term Deposit by following the procedure listed above in (i)-(v).
