Interest on savings accounts

The interest we pay on your savings depends on the type of your account. When you’re opening an account in Nordea Netbank, you can find the interest details on the Services tab. First, you should ensure that you have enough cash in your accounts to cover your expenses for the next couple of months and to buffer for any unexpected expenses. We also recommend that you start saving in investment funds each month. Cash in a savings account gives you security, but if you invest your savings correctly, they can also accrue a return for you and grow your wealth over time.
