For customers, the lock-in period signifies a commitment to maintaining their investment for the specified duration. This means that before the lock-in period ends on December 31, 2029, customers will not have the option to access their principal or any accrued interest without incurring a penalty.

While this may limit liquidity, it also reinforces the purpose of the Fixed-Term Deposit (FTD) as a long-term investment vehicle aimed at fostering community development. Customers can expect that their contributions will support transformative projects like the Gelephu International Airport that will benefit society, aligning their financial goals with social impact.
