Can someone who works in the financial sector please tell me in simple terms how much a fixed deposit of =N=1 M, earn per month. Thanks for your anticipated response.
Re: Interest Rate On Fixed Deposit Accounts In Nigeria by walestar2(m): 4:25pm On Dec 14, 2009
it will earn you nothing but a chiken change like 9,000 naira monthly if you are fixing with Zenith Bank but probably lower with UBA which will be around 8,500 monthly. they pay chiken change in fixed deposit, its better you have huge some of money to fix, lol

the money is reasonable when the sum is large. a friend got 16.5% with fidelity for 14million naira.

Oceanic Bank wants to give me 10% on N1ml for fixed deposit. I understand FD is subject to negotiations. You will benefit better if your investment is huge.

But on the other hand, i understand one can get 3% per month if it is SAVINGS. This means one can get up to N30,000 in a month on N1ml

We just need to do survey sometimes. I mean we must be inquisitive.

LET US LEARN TO ASK REASONABLE AND RELEVANT QUESTIONS.
Re: Interest Rate On Fixed Deposit Accounts In Nigeria by frenchman(m): 1:00pm On Dec 15, 2009
Which bank is that? from the findings I have done the SAVINGs interest rate is even poorer.
The 3% is most probably annual and not per month.

It varies with the Bank. Different Banks, different percentage.

Re: Interest Rate On Fixed Deposit Accounts In Nigeria by holotee(m): 3:01pm On Dec 15, 2009
It varies from bank to bank. Some say the higher you go the higher the interest rate you get; that depends on your negotiating skills. Was able to get 12% on a 500K deposit. I still don't see it as good enough. There sholud be something else that is legit that will keep my money for 30 days and above and give my at least 10% of it per month (and not yearly).

How can i fix 14 million and all i get is a mere 16.5% per year. That's terrible.

i am not really giving a direct response to your question but why dont you find an investment you can do with that kind of money instead of putting it in the hands of some banks .there are  investments you can go into that will still give you 30% returns every month.just give it a tot.thx

Hey guys! Don't sweat it.

What ever percentage they tell you, its per annum. If it were to be 10% per month I would have made so much money from FD cos I did the research far back.

When you put in N1million you get 10% per annum from most banks and that is N8,333(0.0083%) per month. Meaning, 10% divided by 12. So ridiculous.
Re: Interest Rate On Fixed Deposit Accounts In Nigeria by baron2000(m): 3:18pm On Dec 15, 2009
poster- nowadays since stocks are a no go area. wise investors are beginning to go into bonds,and debentures which can give as much as 24% p/a. these

instruments are  very low risk financial investment windows. next year firstbank would be launching N500B in corporate bonds. this is the way to go. as bond and

debentures are fixed income instruments.

In case you need more explanation pls send me a mail on richard@cavaricapital.com

in as much as you make a whole lot of sense ,you should take into consideration peoples ability to take risk.the higer the risk in biz most times the higer the return .well there are over a million biz that can give 30%andabove  within a month but the risk also will be more than that ofbiz that give 2%a month.i wouldhave love to post some biz here but based on pricinciple i cant but if you are intrested in knowing you might send an email to stphenjames@yahoo.com.IT IS ONLY A SUGESTION YOU GO INTO IT IF YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE I AM NOT LIABLE

that's still about 4 -5 % more than banks in the UK will over you so it's still good value for money

instruments are very low risk financial investment windows. next year firstbank would be launching N500B in corporate bonds. fixed deposits only help to erode

the value of your money.if you fixe 1M at 11% max and inflation is 15% u have ended up loosing at least 4% of your 1M.so you need to invest in an instrument

that not only shields you from inflation but also guarantees you a margine .this is the way to go. Bond and

debentures are fixed income instruments and they guaranteed.

I said it was RIDICULOUS because the N100K you will make from the N1million in a YEAR would not cover the rate of inflation for that whole year. So FD is not a form of investment.

The answer to your question is diamond bank HIDA account, its a savings account designed for people who can maintain atleast 100k in their account. They promise 8-10% monthly depending on the amount in your account. I started last month and hope to earn my interest before end of the month. Walk in any diamon to confirm things yourself or check on their website.

It's the safest and provides 0% risk.
If you don't have a viable plan for your money then FD is d way forward. Would you rather they just put the money under their bed, or invest in stock market whilst the risk is high and current market trend ain't favourable.
