It sometimes happens that for various reasons such as death or change of address, bank account holder “forgets” that keeps the balance in favor of it. In this circumstance raises the question: What happens to the money left by their owner in the bank account?

The truth is that as regulated by Article 18 of Law 33/2003 of November 3. Heritage of the Public Administrations, the balances in a bank account abandoned become the property of the state when you go 20 years without “has management practiced by some stakeholders that involve the exercise of their right of ownership “. I.e. without the owners have made any movement, except charges for maintenance fees was able to perform the bank.

The financial institution is required, three months before the expiry of the legal limitation period of 20 years, to communicate by registered mail to last known address of the holder of the account, the existence of it and the fact that it takes 20 years (less than three months) without movement. This communication is the last opportunity for owners to recover the money before finally passing the state funds.

Tips on deposits with high profitability

Today I try to give a few tips on high-yielding deposits. Frankly, the topic I am tempted for a while now, but I decided to just write about it now. The reason is in itself a tip: make haste.

The bloody battle between the unions declared the bank whose aim was to attract more funds through tempting interest rates with high profitability is coming to an end, at least temporarily. Interest rates on deposits more profitable start to fall. In savings or deposit products launched late last year or the beginning of the current notice a slight decrease in average interest rates, many financial experts confirm that this decline will occur even more pronounced. The main reason is the lowering of the interest rate of the ECB.

So my advice is do not expect much, those of you with any intention of hiring a saving deposit, as it is very likely that interest rates fall further. The current bid has still hardly a 5.75% APR or even a 6% APR in some banks, but it seems that the supply will last.

On the other hand, a very important advice is being very careful when signing or hiring. Ask before contracting anything. And because many times the bank officers themselves are not very familiar with the characteristics of the products they sell or just because they are concerned not to disclose all characteristics the beginning, misunderstandings often occur. So I strongly advise you read it the contract, the fine print, advertising brochures, etc., before hiring.

Setting in which many banks undertake to debit the payroll for example, ordering credit card (and use) an insurance or household bills, gas etc. It is important to see what conditions imposed on us by the bank in exchange for offering us an attractive return.

My last advice is that if you look online banking services, will have more options to find deposits with very high yield which is exempt from any fee, because if you charge a high commission might not compensated since the promised returns.

Tips For Using Fixed Accounts

Since most banks currently offer various types of fixed accounts, there are certain tips you can use to maximize your profits. Using fixed account is one of the easiest ways to break into investing since the majority of them are sure fire as long as your are good with your money and can stick to a plan. Use some of these tips to maximize the effectiveness of accounts like these.

• Comparison Shop- Many banks will have close to the same interest rate, but special promotions are very common, especially with CDs. Certificates of deposit tend to different interest rates between banks, so see who has the best offer at the time. Since they tend to start at 6 months, you can roll it over between several different banks depending on who is offering the best interest rate when your accounts are liquid.

• Leave It In The Bank- An investment requires that you leave them money in the bank, especially when it is a sure bet. You know the return you’ll be getting on it, so there is no need to worry. Just don’t touch it and you’ll be fine. One way to keep it this way is to make sure you have enough liquid assets to last you in an emergency. Keep a saving account with available cash in it should the need arise and leave your investment alone.

• Calculate- Figure out how much you will be getting from your investment, and never leave that to the bank. One minor miscalculation on their part could take money away from you. Have a good idea of what you should get. Banks are not perfect, as many people have discovered, and they do make mistakes.

• Diversify- keep in mind that multiple accounts are always best. If you have $10,000, it may be more profitable for you to open up tow $5,000 CDs instead of one big one. Then you will have two different accounts drawing in interest at the given rate instead of just one collecting money.

• Don’t Freak Out- One of the keys to money is not freaking out. If the economy looks like it’s going south, don’t withdrawal everything out of fear. Make sure your bank is FDIC insured, then you don’t have anything to worry about. Never put money into an uninsured bank under any circumstance. Should something happen, your money could vanish.

• If It Sounds Too Good- Then it probably is. Always check on the bank you are investing in, and never send checks or money order overseas unless the bank is reputable. Never provide accounts number via e-mail either. Many phishing and pharming scams have cleaned out bank accounts like that. Know your bank, and follow their advice closely.

Short term deposits

Interest rates are very low. In previous articles we gave some advice on high-yield deposits that could still recruit even earlier this year, but at this stage of the crisis and Euribor from soils (an advantage for those with mortgage), it is really hard to find deposits have the same yields as last year.

However, not everything is gray. Experts predict a future rise in interest rate, possibly later this year or early 2010. That would be a very propitious moment to hire a good deposit of these to one year with an attractive interest.

Until that moment, what we can do is opt for the existing short-term deposits in the banking system today. They come in 3 or 6 months. It is true that when returns are handled very small (between 1 and 3%) but otherwise have a very low CPI (1%) resulting in a range of customer purchasing power to the tank.

Before hiring a deposit, always assure the cancellation policy. Most, to cancel early, forcing you to pay compensation but it never exceeds the interest earned. What is sacrosanct is the initial capital that you have deposited.
