Capital Alliance Finance Plc (CALF), a subsidiary of Capital Alliance Group, has announced the introduction of a new amazing fixed deposit plan that offers a record 14.5% p.a. interest on a six month fixed deposit, in a bid to assist short term investors seeking a quick return on their investment.
CALF Deputy General Manager Pushpike Jayasundera said: “Many of the fixed deposit schemes available today are medium to long term investor friendly whilst short term investments are not benefited. Considering the present market conditions we wanted to offer a benefit to our customers by offering a higher interest rate for a shorter period. Not only do we offer the highest interest rates of 14.5% p.a. for short term deposits, but we also extend many attractive schemes to suit investors of any investment horizon.”
