How much money can i earn?

The money you can earn depends on 3 factors: terms, amount of money and returns
The longer you have the money in a savings account, the greater the interest generated. The same thing happens with yields, the higher the returns, the higher the profits. Exactly the same with deposited money, the more money you deposit, the higher the multiplier will be.
Let’s give two examples. If we make a one-year deposit of $100,000 at 4% we will earn $4,000 but if we leave $1,000,000 for 2 years then we earn $8,000.

How to choose the best savings account?

We have made a list with the main keys that you must take into account before opening a savings account:

  • Yields: You have to contract those savings accounts that offer the highest yields.
  • Fees: Avoid commissions. The most common fees are the monthly maintenance and for opening the account.
  • Branches: If you do not like online banks, you should choose those banks that have branches.
  • Minimum deposit: Find out if the savings account you want requires you to open a minimum deposit.
