Savings Accounts for Schools, Parishes, Clergy and other Diocesan agencies
The CDF offers two types of savings accounts: a Current Account and a Cash Management Account to help clients manage Cash and improve returns on savings.
The Current Account is a transaction account to receive income, to pay suppliers and for general working capital needs.
The Cash Management Account is an on-call account paying a higher rate than the Current Account but generally lower than Term Deposits. It’s an account generally used for saving or for investing for periods of less than 3 months. You move funds in and out of this account to your Current Account online (electronically) via the CDF Online facility.
