Why are interest rates so important?
Interest rates hold a crucial role in the banking sector, representing both the cost of borrowing money and the potential return on cash deposits.
When understood and utilised correctly, they can significantly impact the growth of your savings over time.
Moreover, it’s worth highlighting that interest rates can vary based on the amount you deposit in your account. Typically, accounts with larger balances benefit from more attractive interest rates, promoting greater returns over extended periods.
What sets Alpian’s interest rates apart?
Unlike many traditional and neo-banks in Switzerland, Alpian’s approach is very simple. We eliminate completely the typical conditions that often hinder earning interest. Here’s what makes our interest rates truly stand out:
Monthly payouts
Nothing beats payday, right? For your money, it means compounding returns too! We’re one of the only digital banks in Europe to offer the annual interest paid monthly.
Risk-free returns
If you’re not investing or are saving money for a big purchase, keeping your savings in an account that earns positive interest is the smart choice.
