TB- interest is received at the point of debit. FD- interest is received when it is terminated.

TB- tenure must be complete before termination. FD- you can terminate anytime.

TB- interest is slightly higher vice-versa

TB is best for long term investors. While the later for short-term investors.
TB rocks though.

Treasury bills are loans sold by FG and usually have higher interest rates compared to fixed deposits


Fixed deposit on the other is a form of savings with some kind of restrictions and yields interest

For treasury bills, you have no access to your money until it's duration elapses unlike fixed deposits.

Nigerians lazy o. How will someone put money in the bank for a whole month and expect 30%?! Whereas with mental and physical work, he could get 250% with the same money under a month.

Treasury bills is better since you don't need to pay a withholding tax, but for some a fixed deposit may be better since you can decide to withdraw before the fixed date.

Tbills is fix deposit with cbn while the other is with your Bank. Another diff is that tbills Starts from 1m and above while fd is 100k. Tbills has to be either 3months 6months and 1yr while fd is from 1month. Tbills rate is same irrespective of the amount its the tenor that determines the rate while fd ia amount that determines the rate. Fd pays your interest at maturity while tbills pays upfront these are the major diff

Treasury bill is when u lend government money and they will issue you contract paper to show they are with ur money, and the paper will contain interest rate....

While fixed deposit is when u lend bank money at a specific interest rate....which will be payable into your acct monthly or annually

TB is the best because it is FG sourced loan which you will receive certificate from CBN on the other hand FTD is sourced by banks to give loan to their customers.

With TB you are more comfortable.

You can't make a guaranteed 10% ROI with nearly no risk by buying a land or a bus in 1 year.
With Tbills or a fixed deposit investment you'd aalready be seeing profit in a few months.
