“Our
range of notice deposit accounts is a low cost investment account offering
great returns. These new notice deposit accounts aim to cater for clients
wanting to invest their funds with the Bank for shorter periods of time and for
those who wish to have their funds available on notice shorter than 32, 66 or
88 days,” said Bokkie Cloete, National Sales Manager at Bank Windhoek.
The
development of the new notice deposit accounts was the result of in-depth
research into the needs of Bank Windhoek clients. “In the past, some clients
requested the Bank for early redemptions on their deposit accounts. This led to
additional costs for clients as they are charged an early redemption fee. By
providing clients with alternative deposit accounts, we are in a position to
better cater for the different needs of our diverse client base,” added Bokkie
Cloete.
The
minimum balance on these new notice deposit accounts is N$500 and there is no
maximum deposit amount applicable. No fees will be charged on these accounts
with the exception of an early withdrawal penalty of 25% on the interest for
the remaining notice period.
Clients
will be allowed to make multiple deposits during the term of the investment if
notice has not been given for the full amount of the Notice Deposit. Once the notice
is given for the full amount, no new deposits will be accepted on the same
account. If notice is given on part of the deposit, then the client can still
make deposits on this account after the notice was given.
For
clients who prefer to invest their money for longer periods of time, the
traditional 32, 66 and 88 days notice deposit accounts are still available.
