All interest earnings are subject to a 20% withholding tax, as required by law. If you leave interest on the Time Deposit, then compound interest will be applied and this rate will be obtained:

You can also choose to have your earned interest paid out every month to your checking account instead of adding it to your Time Deposit. 
 

Once your deposit is opened, you can cash in using two methods:

1. With the Salmon app

• Via PESONet:
  Go to your Checking account in the Salmon app, tap “Cash in,” and choose PESONet. Copy your Checking account details from the app and paste them into the e-wallet or bank app you’re using to transfer funds.

2. Without the Salmon app

• Over the counter:
  Visit any of our bank branches.
• Via PESONet:
  Ask your relationship manager for your Salmon Checking account number. In your e-wallet or bank app, choose Salmon Bank (Rural Bank) Inc. as the receiving bank and enter your Checking account details. Share the transfer confirmation with your manager. They’re always ready to assist with any questions.

Minimum initial deposit: ₱50,000

To get the maximum return of 8%, your deposit must be at least ₱1,000,000. This lets you continue earning from the highest interest rates available under the current terms. 

Withdrawing your money after the maturity period will not affect any interest earned from the previous term. Your account will automatically roll over or extend to a new term, unless you specify otherwise. This means that if you don't take action, your funds will continue to earn interest according to the terms of the new period.

It’s best to keep your deposit until maturity to get the full interest rate. If you withdraw your funds before the maturity date, your Time Deposit will be pre-terminated.

In this case:

• You will earn a reduced interest rate of 1.00%.
• A pre-termination fee of 0.75% of your initial deposit will also be applied. 

Joint account ownership  

Joint account is an account held jointly by two or more natural persons, or by two or more juridical persons or entities. Joint accounts shall be insured separately from any single or singly-owned deposit account. 
The aggregate of the interests of each co-owner over several joint accounts, whether owned by the same or different combinations of individuals, juridical persons or entities, shall likewise be subject to the Maximum Deposit Insurance Coverage of Php1,000,000.
