Minus To Plus Account:
The Minus To Plus account is a
Zero COT Current Account that pays Fixed Deposit returns. It is an auto-save
current account that allows the customer to earn interest on idle funds while
having the flexibility to issue clearing cheques.
The Minus To Plus
account lets you enjoy the full benefits of a zero COT Current Account with a
very attractive interest rate.
Why choose the Minus To Plus Account?
- Relatively low account opening balance of N100,000.00 with no
minimum operating balance required.
- Automatically transfers funds in excess of N200,000.00, into an
interest bearing fixed deposit account in multiples of N100,000.00. This
means that you must have a minimum of N300,000.00 for an investment of
N100,000.00 to occur on your account. The account allows for unlimited
access to the invested funds.
- Attractive interest payment of 8% per annum, only on funds that
have stayed for a minimum of thirty (30) days in the fixed deposit account.
- Zero Commission On Turnover (COT) every month, if the effective
monthly AVERAGE balance in the Minus To Plus Account and Fixed Deposit
Account combined is above N100,000.00.
- No Account Maintenance, Service or Intersol charge is applied
(unless the effective monthly average balance is below N100,000.00)
- Whenever a withdrawal is requested and the un-invested balance in
the Minus To Plus account is insufficient to service the request, the
account automatically breaks the last batch of fixed deposit to fund the
shortfall, and so on, in order to enable the earlier fixed deposits complete
the thirty-day interest payment cycle.
