If you store your savings under a mattress, they are worthless. So make them work.
Savings account
You transfer money to a perpetual account, and the bank charges you a monthly interest on it while you use its services. At the same time, there are no restrictions on the movement of funds. But the percentage is usually low.
Profit earning period: from one month.
Risks: practically none, if you contact a trusted bank and do not give access data to online banking to outsiders.
Deposit
You deposit money in the bank for a fixed period and receive interest on it. Pay attention to the ratio of terms and interest at a floating rate on the deposit. Sometimes it happens that, for example, putting money in the bank for a year is more profitable than for six months, but less profitable than for one and a half.

The income from the deposit, depending on the terms of the agreement, can be cashed out monthly or added to the principal amount in order to receive all the money at the same time. Pay attention to the presence of capitalization: in this case, interest is added to the principal amount on a monthly basis, and then interest is also charged on them.
If there is a lot of savings, spread the amount among different banks so that each deposit has no more than 1.4 million – this is the amount that is insured in case of bankruptcy of a financial institution.
The term for making a profit: from one month, but it is more profitable to choose a longer period.
Risks: practically none, if you contact a trusted bank and do not give access data to online banking to outsiders.

Profit earning period: from several months to several years.
Risks: high if you are not ready to invest anything but money and you have not studied the professional market well.
Real estate under construction

But profitable investments are risky investments, so it is necessary to take a responsible approach to a developer’s choice so as not to join the ranks of defrauded real estate investors.

Risks: high if you contact an unverified developer, and below-average if you choose a bona fide company.
