References

AER (Annual Effective Rate) is compounding-normalised, so payout cadences compare fairly. Sparklines show movement over the past year; a flat or single-point line means the rate hasn't changed since tracking began.

FD interest is subject to withholding tax and deposits are covered by Sri Lanka's statutory deposit-insurance scheme โ€” both are uniform across licensed banks and change with policy, so confirm current figures with the bank or the IRD. This is a comparison aid, not a quote; verify on the bank's own page before applying.
