Best Fixed Deposit Rates in South Africa
« on: November 01, 2019, 06:23:48 am »
Hello all,

I recently was looking for the best fixed deposit rates in South Africa. It turned into quite a big task as banks quote different rates in their ads & online. It took quite a lot of digging in the fine print, to convert them all to effective annual rates so they can be compared.

Anyhow, I realised that others must be wanting to do the same thing.  "I just want to know where I can get the best fixed deposit rates in SA".

So I made my research public & will update it on a monthly basis going forward.

Here they are - https://www.ratecompare.co.za/

I also made a free PDF report of all rates.

Hope it benefits someone. If it does, all I ask is that you share the PDF / link with friends and family.

Thanks
Mark

Don't think I would deposit my life savings with African Bank or Sasfin. Discovery and Capitec yes 'cos they underwritten by FNB and PSG.
