Some, seeing the words “deposit” and “meditation” next to each other in one sentence, will be surprised, they say, what connection can there be between such different concepts: finance and spiritual practices. Again, however, don’t jump to conclusions.

A famous saying says, "When there is a silence within you, your body, mind, and energies will be very intense." However, silence alone will not be enough for the money to start working for you. Agree that money reserves, lying at home, somewhere in the depths of hiding places, not only will not grow but in general – in the context of inflation – may decrease. So for the preservation and accumulation of funds, it is better to invest them profitably. The best solution may be a hryvnia deposit because it has a significantly higher yield than similar deposits in foreign currencies. And it is convenient to manage a deposit and even open it in a mobile application – in a few clicks. Saving and accumulating funds is affordable and accessible today.
