Easy-access savingsGerman: Tagesgeld
Easy-access savings are interest-bearing bank deposits that you can generally access without a fixed term. The interest rate is usually variable.
In plain language
Withdrawals may use a linked reference account. Check whether a promotional rate applies only to new customers, a limited balance or a short period. Deposit protection and the responsible bank depend on the provider.
Let’s make it concrete
An account pays a promotional rate for three months, then a different rate. An annual comparison must consider both periods.
Simplified example for illustration.Worth understanding
An attractive promotional rate may not last. Consider access, terms and the legal bank together.
