First Country Bank’s Katuparan Special Savings

If you’re not averse or allergic to rural banks, you may want to try placing your money in First Country Financial Bank. Located in Mega Plaza Building, San Miguel Avenue, at the back of Robinson’s Galleria, FCB offers interest rates way higher than the traditional and commercial banks.

I personally have an account with FCB. After reading the feedback and comments of Pinoy Money Talk members, I decided to give it a try. Mine is the Katuparan Special Savings, a time deposit account that earns a minimum of four-percent interest (30-day period). Here’s the interest rates table of FCB’s Katuparan Special Savings:

PhP5,000 to 19,999	4%	4.25%	4.50%	4.75%
