- Purpose-driven Saving : Long Term Savings Accounts are designed for members who have specific long-term financial goals such as retirement planning, education expenses, purchasing property, or building an emergency fund. The account encourages disciplined saving towards achieving these objectives.
- Fixed Term Deposits : Members deposit a fixed amount of money into their Long Term Savings Account for a predetermined period, which can range from several months to several years, depending on the member’s goals and preferences.
- Competitive Interest Rates : RMCL typically offer competitive interest rates on Long Term Savings Accounts to encourage members to commit their funds for an extended period.
