GoldPlus Account
There are so many things you would like to do – travel, earn a post graduate degree, buy a
plot of land, plan for
your wedding or up coming child; but there isn't enough money! The GoldPlus
savings scheme enables you to grow
your money so you can achieve your dreams. Put away
a little every month, stay focused and achieve your goal
without any worry.
Who can open a GoldPlus Account?
If you earn a regular income and can commit to deposit at least Ugx 50,000/= or US$
100 per month, towards a goal that requires a lump sum payment, then the GoldPlus
Account is ideal for you.
For how long can I Save?
You can save for 6 months, 12months, 18 months or 24 months. Once you have chosen
a savings period, you may not change it. At the end of the period, you have the option of
extending the contract or transferring the funds to your regular account and using the
savings for the purpose of the desired dream.
How do I make deposits into my GoldPlus Account?
Deposits can be made by standing order (free for BOA customers), cheque or cash.
For the US Dollar account, deposits can be made in Uganda Shillings but will be
exchanged at the Bank’s prevailing rates.
Can I change my monthly deposit?
You may only pay the agreed monthly deposit into your account. In case of excess
funds, you have an option to open another account with us, since additional deposits
and (or) deposits in excess of the agreed monthly payment are not permissible.
What if I am not able to make my monthly deposit?
You may defer one month's deposit, but the account will be considered abandoned
if you miss any two installments during the term period.
What if I need my funds urgently?
Under normal circumstances, no cash withdrawals are permitted from your
GoldPlus account during its term. However you may access a short term loan or
overdraft of up to 80% of the total amount in your GoldPlus account to cover for
your short term financial needs.
How do I get my accumulated Savings at maturity?
The principal amount and interest earned during the term will be paid into any
of your BANK OF AFRICA accounts. The pay out date is calculated from the date
of your first deposit.
Are there any charges?
There are no Bank charges on the GoldPlus Account.
Note: As a government requirement, you will pay withholding tax on interest
earned. You will be charged a fee of Ugx 30,000/= if you close your account
prior to expiry of the agreed term.
