It has been a very good 3 years.
Again in 2019, I signed up for Etiqa’s ELASTIQ plan which provides assured 2.02% for the primary 3 years. I began with $5k preliminary deposit first, and high 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 e mail informing of the revised curiosity all the way down to 1.2%
