It must be taken into account that this profitability was obtained from variables such as the amount of money deposited, the time they keep it in the bank and the conditions of the market. In addition, you must take into account that you will not be able to withdraw the money before the agreed date.
For example, right now people in Colombia can find returns of up to 18 percent if they keep the money for between three months and a year, depending on the bank. This means that they can get up to 4-5 points more than the explosion in some cases.
Currently, it is no longer necessary to do it in person, as many banks allow you to open CDT online from your own cell phone or computer.
