Rural Bank of Makati – My new bank Finally, I have a little amount to invest after working so hard for so many years. I will not say how many years you might guess my age.
Where will I put my money? In stocks, mutual fund, treasury bonds or time deposits. The other options require extensive understanding on how it works to safeguard my money. Thus I opted to choose time deposits. Time deposit is quite safe as it is covered by PDIC insurance up to PhP 500,000.
The next question would be where should I open a time deposit account? I research the Internet and found many choices. One of the choices is Rural Bank of Paranaque, which is owned by the notorious Legacy Group. The said bank then offers a very high interest, too good to be true. I learned through readings that if an investment promised a return that is too good to be true, chances are they are really too good to be true. It’s a good thing that I’m cautious and was not taken over by greediness.
I continue to research the Internet and come across Rural Bank of Makati. They offer a relatively higher interest than the others of 10% non taxable for five years. Regular interest will be applied should I opted to withdraw before five years. Rural Bank of Makati is stable based on my internet research. I open a time deposit almost two years ago and so far so good. The returns might be lower than stock market but my money is safe. I need not track the stock market all the time. I continue to check on the bank from time to time for my peace of mind that the bank is still operational. |
