Term Deposits: Elevating Savings to New Heights
Experience the power of growth with our Term Deposit products. A Term Deposit account represents a fixed investment, where your funds are securely held for an agreed duration, enjoying a fixed interest rate.
Why choose a Term Deposit? The answer lies in its potential as a high-growth savings account. Compared to regular savings or transaction accounts, Term Deposit accounts can boost interest earnings, making it a savvy strategy for achieving your savings goals.
Moreover, the range of different Term Deposit products means the longer you fix your deposit, the more interest you will earn. We provide the flexibility with products that range from 3 months up to 10 years. If you want earnings growth and commit to a Term Deposit, you will benefit from the fixed interest rate. Elevate your savings with a Kontiki Finance Term Deposit and watch your financial horizons grow.

Term Deposit Considerations: Planning for Your Future
While a Term Deposit offers stability, it's essential to weigh the following factors:
1. Locked Funds
Your money is committed until maturity. Yet, you could leverage your Term Deposit as security to apply for a loan.
2. Limited Exit
Early redemption due to genuine hardship incurs an exit fee. Flexibility may be limited compared to other investments.
A Term Deposit grants security but demands thoughtful planning. Evaluate your needs and goals before making your financial decision. We’re here to help you navigate the path that aligns with your aspirations. (Refer to our Fees & Charges Brochure).
Term Deposit interest rates are offered to our customers. For deposits over $200,000 or terms outside the standard options, please reach out to us for more information

It means that KFL has a legal obligation to guarantee the return of the whole sum invested to the term depositor on the maturity date of the deposit.
This differs from other classes of investment such as unit trusts, share market investments, and pension contributions as these investments carry no Capital Guarantee and thus there is no legal obligation from these investment schemes to return any of your invested funds to you.
We have used the expression Capital Guaranteed in our promotional material as this is the global financial market’s expression for identifying our legal obligation to return deposited funds and also we wish to educate the Fijian market about the differing risks between investment products. This is part of Kontiki Finance’s commitment to improve Financial Literacy in Fiji.
An additional advantage of Term Deposits over other growth unit trusts, share market investments, and pension contributions is that the interest rate offered by KFL at the Term Deposit commencement is contracted over the entire tenure of the investment. Whereas the yield on the other classes of investment above is not fixed at all and could conceivably be zero or be reduced after the investment funds are received without reference to the investor.
Kontiki Finance Limited cannot reduce your Term Deposit interest rate yield during your investment term. Also, we do not charge any fees to deposit or withdraw on maturity from your Term Deposit. This is often not the case with other classes of investment.
