Your money, Your choice

You don't have to put all of your business capital into one type of account. You can mix instant access and fixed term accounts to match different needs.

For example, you'll want to keep working capital or emergency funds in an instant access account. But once that's covered, you can move additional funds into a fixed term or notice account. The longer the fixed term, the higher the rate is likely to be. This way you can maximise the interest you earn while saving. 

If your business involves holding money for clients, you'll probably need to put that in a dedicated third party deposit account that meets industry and professional regulations. But even with a client monies deposit account you can choose between instant access or fixed term, with the option to close the account early, depending on your situation.

Fixed term accounts can earn you more interest than instant access deposits. But before you commit, you’ll want to double check your timing, since you won’t be able to withdraw any funds before the end of the term. So if you’re saving for a goal, be sure to choose a term that ends before you need the funds. 

Keep emergency planning in mind as well before you open a fixed term account. You’ll want to make sure you keep enough funds in easily accessible savings to handle any unexpected problems.
