NCBA Investment Bank

NCBA Money Market Fund

Money market fund · Regulated by the CMA

What is this?

Your money is lent out short term, to banks and to the government. You can add to it or take it out when you want. It grows slowly and steadily.

The details that matter for this kind of plan

How fast you get your moneyOne working day after you ask

What does it cost you?

NCBA Investment Bank does not publish what it charges. We looked for 3 charges and found no figure for any of them:

  • · No yearly charge appears on the fund's page, next to the rate it advertises.
  • · The page does not say whether anything is taken off the money you pay in.
  • · The page does not say whether anything is taken off the money you take out.

What if you stop paying?

Nothing happens. There is no set payment to keep up. Your money stays in the fund and keeps earning.

What if you need the money early?

There is no fixed term. The money reaches you one working day after you ask. The page does not mention any charge.

Who this suits

It could work for you if

You bank with NCBA already and you want the money to move quickly.

Think twice if

You want to compare cost. NCBA prints a rate and no charges at all.

  • How long is your money tied up?
    They do not say how long you are tied in.
  • Is the advertised return before or after their charges?
    They never say. So you cannot tell what you would actually keep.
  • Do they warn you the return is not guaranteed?
    No warning appears next to the figure, even though it is not a promise.
  • Do they tell you what you get back if you stop early?
    You get whatever your money is worth on the day. There is no schedule.
  • Do they list what is not covered?
    This is not insurance, so there is nothing to exclude.
  • Are all their charges published?
    No. 3 charges are mentioned without a figure.
  • Do they say who regulates them?
    Yes — the CMA. That is who you complain to.

This grades how openly things are explained, not whether the plan is good or bad. See how we work it out.
