Can I access my money in my Time Deposit before its maturity date?
Yes, you can. You may do an early withdrawal for your Time Deposit. However, if you do so, you will deflect from your original investment goal. As much as possible, we recommend that you stick to your set goals.
Is there penalty for closing my Time Deposit before maturity?
If you withdraw early within 6 days (known as the cooling off period) of Time Deposit opening, you can get a full refund of your Time Deposit (no Documentary Stamp Tax and no interest)
If you withdraw early but after the cooling off period, you will earn your Tonik Account interest instead of the higher Time Deposit interest - and you will be charged for Documentary Stamp Tax.
What is “early withdrawal” or “pre-termination”?
“Early withdrawal” or “Pre-termination” is when you withdraw your Time Deposit before the maturity date.
I want to close my Time Deposit after the cooling off period. What will I get and how is it calculated?
You will earn Tonik Account interest from the date you open your Time Deposit until your early withdrawal date, but you will be charged for Documentary Stamp Tax. Please keep in mind that you may receive less than your original investment amount (You’ll certainly get less than what you could have got if you wait until maturity)
Interest will be based on the number of days your money is stored in that Time Deposit. Withholding tax will be applied to this interest.
What you receive = investment amount + interest (based on Tonik Account interest) – withholding tax – Documentary Stamp Tax.
How is Documentary Stamp Tax (DST) for Time Deposit is calculated?
For Time Deposit less than 1 year, DST = original term in days / 365 * 1.5 / 200 * investment amount (366 for a leap year)
For Time Deposit 1 year or longer, DST = 1.5 / 200 * investment amount
Will I be charged Documentary Stamp Tax when I open a Time Deposit?
No. You will be charged Documentary Stamp Tax when you withdraw early after the cooling off period.
What will I get if I wait for my Time Deposit until it matures?
You will get your investment amount and the interest as indicated in your application and Time Deposit Confirmation. Withholding tax will be applied to this interest.

How does Time Deposit Rollover work?
When you roll over your Time Deposit (TD), you're extending the term your money is placed in that TD account. The term you initially chose will be the same term your TD will follow once it has rolled over.
For example, if you initially chose a 6 months Time Deposit and decided to rollover, you will have a new term of 6 months, and will continue to renew every 6 months until you deactivate the time deposit roll over button.
The rate that you will get for the new term of your Time Deposit (TD) will depend on the rate that is in effect on the rollover date.
For example, if Tonik still offers the 6% interest rate for TDs, then your existing TD that's earning 6% interest rate will continue earning the same interest rate. But if the new interest rate becomes 4%, then your TD rollover will earn the new 4% interest rate.
What kind of rollover does Tonik allow?
For now, Tonik only allows rolling over the investment amount of your Time Deposit (TD). The interest earned will be transferred automatically to your Tonik Account on the rollover date.
Can I change the investment amount when I select rollover?
The investment amount cannot be changed, luv. If you want to change the investment amount, you can open a new Time Deposit instead.
