It is also the best performer in the field of perceived quality and is a leader in satisfaction with mobile banking.
In addition to offering a wide array of products and services, including transactional services, loan facilities, investment and savings options, FNB also has a number of Money Market Accounts.
A Money Market Account is a type of savings account that usually earns a higher amount of interest than a basic savings account. There is also usually a higher minimum balance required to open the account.
This type of account pays interest based on current interest rates in the money markets.
Most banks have notice deposits, which are investments made for indefinite periods. A 32-day period is common, while the longer the notice period, the higher the interest rate offered.
