Surrendering my Etiqa 2.02% after 3 years
It has been a great 3 years.
Again in 2019, I signed up for Etiqa’s ELASTIQ plan which gives assured 2.02% for the primary 3 years. I began with $5k preliminary deposit first, and prime up one other $10k after for the reason that rate of interest setting then was dangerous.
Curiosity dropped
Now that 3 years is up, Etiqa has despatched me an electronic mail informing of the revised curiosity all the way down to 1.2%
