Investments

Investment accounts are only acceptable if you provide evidence the funds are liquid, such as a letter from the investment institution that states the amount of liquid funds.

Certificate of Deposits (CDs) and Fixed Deposits (FDs)

ISSS can accept CDs and FDs, but we will only accept the initial deposit amount listed on a Certificate of Deposit or a Fixed Deposit rather than the maturity amount.
