    The Monthly interst has to be transferred to another account, so it won't compound.

    It'll compound daily until payment.

    Surely you'd only take monthly interest on a fixed term account like this if you wanted to receive it in another account?

    Your point is correct I'm just saying I'm not surprised they require it to be paid elsewhere.
