IIG Bank to focus on shorter-term products
As from next week, IIG Bank is focusing its product range on maturities that extend from three months to three years.
The bank said that the prolonged interest rate decline had a gradual knock-on effect on deposit rates offered by banks over these past few years.
“At IIG Bank we have seen this trend developing as more customers now tend to prefer the shorter-term maturities,” Nigel Stibbs, chief officer for private banking said.
“Our clients have definitely become more attracted to shorter-term maturities of one to two years, with a view to renegotiating at the end of that period. We are introducing new term deposits of 18 and 30 months, giving a more extensive suite of maturities from which our clients can choose.”
IIG Bank’s offices are located at Portomaso and Qui-Si-Sana. In the early part of 2015, the Qui-Si-Sana branch will be moving next door to larger premises.
