Develop a saving culture and become a disciplined saver. It is a smart and safe way to lock away funds for a fixed amount of time and accrue up to 16% interest annually. 

With Strict Savings, you get to avoid distractions and stay focused on your financial goals while resting assured that your money is secure and growing. 

You should also note that breaking the terms of your Strict Savings plan will lead to a loss of all interest rates you have accrued.

  • Interest: Accrue interest daily and receive payments monthly
  • Top up: Add more funds to your existing savings
  • Roll over: Roll over your plans upon maturity
  • Secure: NDIC-secured
  • Halal complaint: Opt out of receiving interests

Avoid spending funds dedicated to a long-term goal with a Strict Savings plan. Lock away a fixed amount for 1 to 12 months with ease.

3.  Fixed Deposit
