Delivering on its promise to offer a better deal to customers, UB Finance announced the launch of the ‘Built-it’ fixed deposit account in October 2017.

In an interview with UB Finance Director/CEO Ransith Karunaratne, he speaks of the unique features of the product and its benefits.

‘Build-it’ is a revolving one month fixed deposit that can be opened with a minimum deposit of Rs.10,000. It is a unique value proposition for salaried individuals and average savers who wish to accumulate a sizable cash build up for the purchase of an asset or a life event based on their monthly income, with maximized returns.

A salaried individual or an average saver does not have the ability to save a large amount at once. ‘Build-it’ affords the average individual an opportunity to set aside a fixed amount each month, building towards a set investment target enabling them to aim at a life event such as an overseas holiday, education, wedding expenses or the purchase of an asset like a phone, a car or even a house, which is what most people naturally desire.

Once the ‘Build-it’ fixed deposit is opened, customers can build on their investment monthly through a standing order instruction to grow their investment consistently. These customers are entitled to a higher interest rate in comparison to normal savings account. They are also entitled to compounding interest on their ‘Build-it’ deposit. The customer can either access their money at the end of the one month period or allow it to roll over for another term. So whether one is saving towards a short term goal of a phone, an overseas holiday or to purchase household goods, a midterm goal such as a wedding or a masters degree or a long term goal of a car or house or even retirement, ‘Build-it’ from UB Finance is a hassle free financial solution for one to achieve his/her dreams.

A ‘Build-it’ account can be opened by any individual over the age of 18, who is a Sri Lankan national holding a valid National Identity Card. The individual should preferably be earning a steady monthly income in order to commit towards a continuous savings pattern.

Individuals can apply for a ‘Build-it’ fixed deposit from any of the company’s branches located across the Country.
