Fixed Deposit Account – How to Apply  –  A fixed deposit account is an account that allows individuals earn higher interest rates than keeping money in a savings account. In a fixed account, the individual fixes a date to withdraw the money.

The interest rate for this kind of account is usually high if the money is not withdrawn before the fixed date.

Why do banks pay high for fixed deposit accounts?

Banks are always looking for ways to make more profits; they need to pay shareholders, salaries, maintain the bank structure and still have profits.

When you open a fixed deposit account, you are giving the bank a time frame to use your money for businesses that will fetch more income until the given maturity date.

The bank can loan your money to other customers that need loans and charge them high-interest rates. They could also use your money to invest in other investments in their portfolio.

Hence, they pay you higher interest than a savings account. If you withdraw the money before the maturity date but the accrued interest would be forfeited.
