Hi Jing, with time deposits and savings accounts, the money you give goes to the bank which they use to lend to other people or to invest so they can also earn money from it. If you invest in SDAs, on the other hand, the money does not go to the bank but rather to the BSP which pays the bank interest for “depositing” this money with them. The bank simply gets a cut from the interest rate it receives from the BSP and then the rest is given to you as interest for your SDA investment. Hope that clears it up!
