Interest is compounded daily and paid monthly. Interest rates on savings accounts may change daily.

It depends on the type of savings account you open. For example, Online Savings and CDs don't have a monthly fee. Other accounts, like Money Market, have monthly fees which can be waived if certain conditions are met, such as maintaining a minimum daily balance. Withdrawal fees also vary by account type and conditions. For a complete list of Royal First Bank savings account fees, see our Personal Account Disclosures.

Savings accounts and CDs differ in several important ways. CDs have a fixed interest rate and mature after a specific term such as 3 months or 1 year, with penalties for early withdrawal. With a savings account, you can withdraw funds any time without penalty, but the interest rate can change daily. Learn more about the differences between CDs and savings accounts.
