Pros and cons

Pros

  • Monthly interest. You can have interest paid each month, which suits living off the interest.
  • Plenty of terms. 16 terms to choose from, so you can match the term to when you'll need the money.

Cons

  • Your money is locked in. Taking it out early usually needs 31 days' notice and earns less interest.
