Why Keep Your Money in A Bank?

Whether you’re just at the beginning of your career or have already set aside some of your income for safe keeping, it’s important to know how banking can help you manage your finances. Opening your own account lets you get access to several benefits that you’d definitely want to take advantage of. Here’s why:

Security

Regularly putting a portion of your paycheck into a bank account not only helps create a sense of financial stability, but also keeps your earnings safe. Account holders from banks that are accredited by the PDIC can rest assured that their money is secure no matter what happens for up to P500,000 per depositor.

Earning interest

Putting your money in the bank allows you to grow your savings through annual interest. CIMB offers higher rates compared to other local banks at up to 4% per annum. That way, you know that you’re not just letting your funds remain stagnant, but continuously earning.

Financial protection

You don’t need to worry about emergencies like switching careers, house repairs, or hospital bills. Getting a savings account encourages you to keep pooling your income in one place to save you from crucial situations and covering the gaps to keep you out of debt.

Types of Deposit Accounts

Now that you know the benefits of having your own deposit account, it’s time for you to open one for yourself. However, choosing the best kind can be a bit confusing. Get to know the different types of deposit accounts and which one best suits your needs.

Savings Account

Open a savings account to keep your money safe and growing through annual interest that vary depending on your chosen bank or financial goal.
