How do I redeem a Fixed Deposit?

You can redeem your Fixed Deposit by visiting the nearest Emirates NBD branch or by logging in to Online Banking and placing a request under My Finances > Accounts > Savings & Deposits and then selecting the deposit which you would like to redeem.

If I don't redeem my Fixed Deposit on the maturity date, will it get auto renewed?

If your instructions are to auto-renew on maturity, then your Fixed Deposit will be renewed in the absence of any new instructions from you at least two working days prior to the maturity date. The Fixed Deposit, together with interest accrued, will be renewed for the same period at the prevailing rate of interest.

How do I change a Fixed Deposit instruction?

You can change a Fixed Deposit instruction by visiting the nearest Emirates NBD branch or by logging in to Online Banking and placing a request through Fixed Deposit/Goal Recurring Deposit Instruction. For additional funding, deposits will be prematurely closed and rebooked as new Fixed Deposits.

What happens if I break or make a partial withdrawal from my fixed deposit?

If you decide to make a partial withdrawal or foreclose your deposit before the agreed tenure, your interest rate will be affected depending on the type of deposit you hold.

For Fixed Deposit, FlexiDeposit or Steady Saver Deposit, pre-closure will be subject to lower interest and premature withdrawal penalty. Click here for KFS details.
