In recent years, with the rapid development of Internet finance and the emergence of various wealth management products, the traditional financial management method of bank deposits seems to be gradually ignored. However, despite the relatively low attractiveness of deposits, many people still choose to keep a portion of their money in the bank. However, there have been some "new routines" in bank deposits recently, and many people have been deceived. This article will reveal these routines through three key points and remind everyone to take precautions.
Many people will be recommended by the salesperson to buy a seemingly high-yield insurance product when they handle the deposit business in the bank. Salespeople may use high interest and high returns as bait to trick customers into believing that this is a high-yield deposit. However, in practice, this type of insurance product usually requires the customer to pay a certain premium, and it cannot be withdrawn at will within a certain period of time. If the customer takes it out early, it will face huge losses.
In addition, some banks will tie in some additional insurance products at the time of deposit. While this practice may sometimes be in the interest of the client, it is easy to fall into the trap of "certificates of deposit" if you are not careful. Therefore, when handling deposit business, it is important to read the relevant terms and agreements carefully to understand the specific content and restrictions of the insurance product.
In order to attract customers, some banks will launch so-called "high-yield" deposit products. These products often use high interest rates as bait to trick customers into believing that this is a high-yield deposit. However, in reality, these products may be wealth management products launched by banks to circumvent supervision, which are relatively risky and may even involve illegal fundraising.

Some banks also operate by turning deposits into loans. They often use low-interest loans as bait to trick customers into believing that this is a good deal. However, in practice, this kind of loan usually comes with various unreasonable conditions and fees, such as high handling fees, liquidated damages, etc. Customers may end up facing greater financial losses.

When handling the loan business, it is necessary to understand the specific content and restrictions of the loanAt the same time, you should carefully read the relevant terms and agreements to ensure that your rights and interests are protectedIn addition, don't take the bank's salesperson's word for it, and have your own judgment and decision-making ability.
Through the introduction of the above three key points, it is not difficult for us to see some "new routines" in bank deposits. While these routines may seem tempting, they all hide various risks and pitfalls. Therefore, when handling bank deposit business, we must maintain a high degree of vigilance and rational judgment. At the same time, it is also hoped that the relevant departments can strengthen supervision and regulate the market order, and provide consumers with safer and more reliable financial services.
