I wrote – Manal Al-Masry:
Customers’ options were limited to investing their savings in savings certificates with a high interest rate in certificates with maturities of 3 years, after stopping the sale of certificates for one year in Al-Ahly, Egypt, and Cairo, or certificates for one and a half years in Commercial International, Arab African International, and QNB Al-Ahly.
Al-Ahly, Egypt and Cairo banks had decided to stop selling the high-yield certificate for a year, with a return of 22.5% for the periodic exchange of the return per month, and 25% at the end of maturity with the end of work on January 31, after collecting about 500 billion pounds within 28 days of its offering.
The Commercial International Bank, CIB, and Al-Ahly Bank qnb were attached to the decision of the three previous banks to suspend the high-yield certificate. They have a term of one and a half years, with a return of 20% annually, which is paid on a monthly basis, and 22.5% annually, which is spent at the end of maturity.
The Arab African International Bank also decided to stop the same certificate presented in the Commercial International Bank and QNB Al-Ahly 3 days ago, 21 days after it was put up for sale.
Savings certificates are among the preferred options for customers to invest their savings in banks with a safe and attractive return without risk, and always look for the highest price offered in banks before deciding to purchase them.
