Preterm deposit termination
IIn case of preterm termination of the Online Deposit, the interest rate valid for current accounts in the same currency is applied and the accrual depends on the number of days the deposit has been with BACB.

Incoming transfers for replenishing the deposit are commission free. In case of deposit termination with transfer of funds to another bank, the fees and commissions shall be withheld from the transfer amount.
