If I’m Not Able to Wait Until Maturity Date and Decide to Pre-Terminate the Investment, What Is the Pre-Termination Policy?

Written By Security Bank ()

Pre-termination policy for Time Deposits is specified in the table below:

MATURITY DATE APPLICABLE RATE
1 year and below 1st half of the term = savings rate
2nd half of the term = 50% of the given rate
2, 3, 4, 5, 7 years < 25% of the term = savings rate
25% to less than 50% of the term = 25% of the given rate
50% to less than 75% of the term = 50% of the given rate
75% to less than the term = 75% of the given rate

*DST for the remaining term of placement must be shouldered by the client.

For pre-termination of placement with term/maturity of 5 or 7 years, the withholding tax for individual client (except non-resident alien not engaged in trade or business in the Philippines) shall be:

TERM/TENOR WITHHOLDING TAX
4 years to less than 5 years 5%
3 years to less than 4 years 12%
Less than 3 years 20%

Note: Number of days in a year shall be 360
