Good to know
- Since market rates fluctuate continuously, interest rates for short-term investments are likely to be set on a daily basis. The rates are available from BNP Paribas Fortis Business Centres.
- Short terms vary from 7 days to 12 months; however, you can set your own specific maturity date for your interest to be paid, providing you choose a business day.
- Long terms vary from 1 to 10 years. You decide whether your interest is paid annually, quarterly, monthly, or once upon maturity.
- You also have the option to group all your fixed-term investments, regardless of their individual terms or currencies, in a single deposit account.
- For all further information, please refer to the BNP Paribas Fortis Standard Terms and Conditions.
- In the event of bankruptcy or the risk of bankruptcy of the financial institution, the company bears the risk of not recovering its savings or may be subject to a reduction/capital equity conversion (bail-in) of the amount of receivables that it possesses in the financial institution above the sum of EUR 100,000, the amount covered by the deposit protection mechanism (subject to eligibility).
