How come other banks couldn’t give the same rate? Well, CIMB Philippines is an all-digital bank. It means they do not have a physical presence. They don’t need to invest in brick and mortar, thus their maintenance costs are low. That’s the reason why they can be more generous compared to other banks.
Disclaimer:
The act of putting money in those vehicles is called investing. But please don’t jump in without proper study. It’s best to consult financial advisors, read books, and learn finance basics. In real life, we can lose money on investments. But with a savings account, we don’t have to worry. The rate is guaranteed, the amount is insured, our money is safe. It’s why to me GSave is a great place to park my money.
