Term deposit
Moneybuddy says
Arab Bank's Fixed Term Deposit offers a fairly good interest rate for balances over $2,000. With an interest rate lower than most high interest savings accounts for balances under $2,000, however, Arab Bank's term deposit is not recommended for smaller investments, and it really comes into its own with higher investments over a longer period. Another nice touch is the availability of term deposit lengths of up to 5 years.
