FD Highest Interest Rate: Before opening a fixed deposit (FD) account, depositors typically compare the interest rates offered by banks on their fixed deposits. Lenders, typically, offer lower interest rates on short term fixed deposits and higher rates on long term deposits. This means the interest offered on three-year FD is usually higher than that on one-year-FD.
Usually, depositors choose the bank with which they share a long term banking partnership. However, it is not unusual to choose a new bank for the sake of earning a higher interest, particularly when the interest differential is considerable.
