The Different RCBC Savings Accounts for You
Most Filipinos recognize the importance of saving, whether it’s for an emergency, retirement, a new house, or a business. Whatever your financial goals are, the key to success is finding the right savings accounts with high interest.
To get you started on your savings journey, here is a comparison of the different types of savings accounts from RCBC.
Savings Account Examples for Different Needs
RCBC has a savings account no matter where you are in your savings journey. See them here:
If You’re Just Starting: Regular Savings
Regular savings are perfect for those who are just starting out. These are made for maximum accessibility, coming with an ATM card for easy withdrawal. However, a disadvantage is lower interest rates.
What are my options?
If you want no initial deposit and required ADB, choose RCBC Basic Savings Account.
If you want a small interest rate for a PHP 3,000 initial deposit and ADB, you may choose between the Savings ATM or the Passbook Savings Account.
If You’re Preparing for the Unexpected: Online Accounts
Not everyone has time to go to the bank to open an account. RCBC has online accounts that offer insurance benefits while you build your emergency savings.

If You’re Growing Your Funds: High-Yield Accounts
If you’re a more experienced saver, the next logical step is to grow your money to protect it from inflation. An example of a savings account to get you started in this step is a high-yield account.

If You’re a Kid, Teen, or Pensioner
The savings account examples we’ve mentioned so far are for earners. But we know that it’s never too early or too late to start saving. Whether you’re a student beginning to build your funds or a pensioner looking for a secure way to keep their retirement funds, there’s an account that suits your needs.
What are my options?

SSS Pensioner requires a low maintenance balance and comes with an ATM card and passbook.
Do You Need Multiple Savings Accounts?
If you have multiple financial goals, often, it is best to have separate accounts for each one.
The different accounts have unique offerings designed to help each depositor achieve their specific financial goals. It is easier to stay on track with your goals when you have a concrete reminder of each one.
Besides maximizing payoffs, having different accounts makes it easier to keep track of your funds. For example, you can limit your expenses to your emergency fund and avoid dipping into your retirement fund in case of unforeseen expenses.
