From opening account to closure, it was a positive experience. The only reason we did not reinvest was due to the interest rate - we could get better elsewhere. One thing I could suggest is sending information on all interest rates and not just fixed rate bonds (or whatever is maturing). Reviewed on: 19th February 2025
