Only easy-access accounts: you can take your money out at any time. The rate is the base rate plus the fidelity premium. The interest is what you keep after withholding tax, if the money stays 12 months. Welcome rates count for the months you get them. One account per bank: the one that pays the most.
What to look out for
- The fidelity premium is paid only on money that stays in the account for 12 months in a row. The list counts it, so it assumes you leave the money for a year.
- On a regulated savings account, the first €1,020 of interest per person per year is tax-free. Above it, you pay 15%.
- Some accounts are not regulated. There you pay 30% tax from the first euro, so a higher rate can still give you less.
