I have $120,000.00 to invest in an interest bearing account. I do not want one which has a bonus component which is withdrawn after a stated period, requires any top up or has fees attached. What is the best investment offer?

Hi Tom!

Thanks for the comment.

You may visit our high-interest savings accounts page to compare your options and use our calculator to choose the rates we have available. It would show the list of financial institutions that you can choose from.

Based on your stated preferences, you may also consider credit unions as they are known for less fees and better rates than most banks.

Before you use any financial product, Tom, please read through their terms, conditions, and features to see if they are the right choice or not.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Jonathan
