For the first time in the last five years, Coop Pank has raised interest rates on fixed-period deposits – for longer-term deposits, interest rates have doubled on average and now reach up to 2%.
According to Teet Kerem, head of day-to-day banking at Coop Bank, a fixed-period deposit is suitable for those who want to use their savings to earn additional income without excessive risk: “According to the Bank of Estonia, there are over 10 billion euros of demand deposits in the current accounts of private individuals in Estonia, most of which today bring zero or close to zero interest. The growing domestic Coop Pank is very interested in attracting deposits, and therefore we have significantly increased interest rates on long-term deposits. A fixed-period deposit is also the safest way to multiply money, as the state Guarantee Fund guarantees deposits with respective earned interest for up to EUR 100,000 per depositor in one credit institution”.
The interest rate depends on the duration of the fixed-period deposit, which can range from 1 month to 10 years. For example, Coop Pank offers a 2% annual return on deposits for 5 years and 1.25% per annum on deposits for 1.5 years.
