Can I withdraw before the term ends?
Most institutions allow premature withdrawal but pay a reduced rate — often the rate for the period actually completed, minus a penalty. Check the product's terms, or consider a loan against the FD instead of breaking it.
Rates are indicative, collected from each institution's published rate sheet, and can change without notice. Returns assume simple interest paid at maturity with 10% AIT withheld. Anybanq is a comparison service, not a bank, and this is not financial advice — confirm the final rate and terms with the institution.
