We have established ourselves as a trusted partner in long-term savings, offering management of the 2nd and 3rd pension plans. Now we also offer good solutions for creating short-term savings – vaults and term deposits. And – with INDEXO even the account balance earns!

 

The more purposefully you save, the higher the interest:

• for the account balance – 1,5 % per year;
• in vaults – 2,75 % per year;
• in term deposits – 4,00  % per year.

 

Choose the level of flexibility you desire for managing your funds and earn the corresponding interest rate. With vaults, you can deposit and withdraw as much and whenever you want, without any application process or fees. It’s personalized to your preferences, allowing your savings to grow effortlessly.

The more purposefully you save, the higher the interest rates:

• for money in a bank account – 1,5 % per year;
• in savings banks – 2,75 % per year;
• in time deposits – 4,00 % per year.

Yes, we are changing the usual in this regard as well. INDEXO offers an account balance interest rate of 1,5 % per annum, even on the free “Sudrabs” plan. What’s more, there’s no limit on the amount.

Both types of savings are suitable for fulfilling big and small dreams. However, there are several differences between them.

 

Interest is calculated on the savings vault balance at the end of each day and is credited to the savings vault once a month. When calculating interest, we apply an annual interest rate and assume that there are 360 ​​days in a year.

 

Remember that personal income tax will be automatically deducted from the interest paid in the amount specified in the legislation.

Yes, that’s the appeal of a savings vault – add and withdraw money without limits whenever you want.

Another convenient way to add to your savings vault is the payment rounding tool. This feature allows you to automatically round each purchase to the nearest round number and transfer the difference to your vault.

 

For example, if you make a purchase for 1.30 euros, 70 cents will be transferred to your savings account. You can set second, third or even fifth speed for rounding purchases. This will determine how many times this amount will be multiplied – for example, x2 means that the amount will be doubled and 1.40 euros will be transferred. It will help you save money easily and seamlessly every time you make any purchase.

Everything can be done in a couple of seconds in INDEXO Bank’s mobile app.

 

1. Open the “Savings” section of the INDEXO mobile app and press the “Add new savings” button;
2. Select “Term deposit” and fill out the application – specify the desired term and amount;
3. Confirm your agreement to the term deposit terms (including the applicable interest rate);
4. Transfer the amount you want to invest to the term deposit account.

 

That’s all. Now your money is making money on its own.

The compound interest approach is applied to INDEXO term deposits – this means that every month not only the principal amount, but also the earned interest is reinvested and generates additional profit.

The interest earned will be calculated on the term deposit amount from the deposit start date to the deposit end date (not included).

 

Once a month, INDEXO will credit the earned term deposit interest to your term deposit account. This interest will be added to the principal sum of the term deposit and the interest for the next month’s deposit will be calculated from it.

 

When calculating interest, we apply an annual interest rate and assume that there are 360 ​​days in a year.
On the end date of the term deposit, we will credit the amount of the term deposit and accrued interest to your current account.

 

Remember that personal income tax will be deducted from the interest paid in the amount specified in the legislation.

There is no limit to the number of open term deposits. Open as many as you want!

We have already proven ourselves as a reliable partner in long-term savings by offering 2nd and 3rd pillar management of pensions. Now we also offer good solutions for short-term savings – savings vaults and term deposits. And in general, even the account balance earns money at INDEXO!

 

The more focused you save, the higher the interest:

• money in a bank account – 1.50% per year;
• in savings vaults – 2.75% per year;
• in term deposits – 4.00% per year.

Choose how freely you want to handle your money and receive the appropriate interest. You can deposit and withdraw as much as you want and whenever you want – you don’t have to apply for anything, you don’t have to pay anything. Personalize to your liking and accumulate without noticing.
