What’s the interest rate and how you save

Up to 0.30% interest rate

If you charge the account only once every 6 months, you secure favourable interest rate:

  • 0.15% on amounts up to €50,000 
  • 0.30% on amounts from €50,001 

The favourable interest rate applies from the very 1st euro.

The interest is paid into your account on 30.06 and 31.12 every year.

Have a look at the deposit and loan interest rates.

Twice the interest

At the end of each calendar 6-month period we compare your average 6-month balance to that of the previous 6-month period. If the percentage change is positive, we reward you with the corresponding percentage increase in interest for that 6-month period.

The reward interest may reach up to 100% of your deposit interest. This way you can double your savings account returns.

Increased savings

You cannot shop, pay bills or carry out other transactions with the Alpha Smart Save account. This way, you can actually watch your savings increasing.

 
Tip: Why not set up a standing order with a fixed amount to be paid into your account at regular intervals? It’s the best way to increase your balance systematically and step up your savings efforts.

You may only withdraw money from Alpha Bank ATMs and transfer money to other accounts you hold at Alpha Bank.

Free e-statements to track your activity

Every month, you can view an e-statement, i.e. an electronic copy of your account activity, on your e-Banking. You are notified by email when a new e-statement is issued, free of charge. Through your e-Banking you can access the e-statements for the last 18 months.

 
Tip: If you want, you may save them as pdf files on your computer and create your own digital archive.
 

How you bank securely

With Alpha alerts you are notified in real time by email or Viber/text message of any activity on your account and of any online transactions through your e-Banking. This way, you rest assured your transactions are secure.
