Core Feature Breakdowns • Fixed Deposits & Savings: Tracks standard terms (1, 3, 6, 12 months) alongside promotional tiers (100, 200, 400 days). Includes an integrated calculator to compute real cash returns instead of just headline percentages. • Foreign Currency & Remittances: Tracks buying/selling and telegraphic transfer rates for major global currencies (USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, SGD, and Gulf currencies).
