Saving money in the banks is one of the safest ways of keeping our hard-earned money. It’s also one of the safest ways of making our money grow.

However, as the years go by, making your money grow in the bank seems almost impossible because of the decreasing interest rate.

Luckily, there are still banks that offer better interest compared to others. If you are looking for a bank where you can put your money in then check out our list of high yield peso time deposit accounts in the Philippines with a 5-year term.

A Short Introduction About Time Deposit

A time deposit account is similar to a savings account but it’s more appropriately categorized as an investment account. It is a relatively low-risk investment where you keep your savings for a set amount of time. 

Please be aware that the maximum insurance coverage for a deposit account is P500,000 per depositor. As per PDIC, “All deposit accounts by a depositor in a closed bank maintained in the same right and capacity shall be added together.” Here’s an online brochure provided by PDIC that explains how deposit insurance works.

Some may find that the deposit insurance coverage is a bit on the low end, and it may be especially for people who have a higher net worth. It might change though in the future and we might see an increase in the deposit insurance coverage if House Bill No. 5812 is approved and enacted. This bill aims to increase the coverage from P500,000 to P1 Million.

Please also take note that the initial deposit and interest vary depending on the bank that you choose. And the same goes for the terms of placement or how long you need to keep your money in the bank.

The longer you keep your money in the bank, the better the interest is. If you keep your money for the maximum lock-in period which is 5 years and 1 day, then the interest that you’ll earn becomes tax-free.

And also, since this investment has a lock-in period or terms of placement, please be aware that there is a pre-termination fee associated with terminating or closing your time deposit account.

The fee might vary from bank to bank, so be sure to confirm this with the bank before you open an account. 

To maximize the benefit that you may get in a time deposit account make sure to compare the offerings of different banks.

Note to Readers: Please be advised that the information written here is valid as of the time of writing but may have been updated by the time you see/read this post. Please refer to the linked Philippine bank’s webpages to get the updated details. If the links are not working by the time you see the article, please go to the bank’s homepage.

Veterans Bank also has a long-term time deposit product, and it’s known to be one of the highest interests in the Philippines before.
