  • What does automatic extension of a deposit mean? Will the income earned with the previous deposit be preserved?

    Your deposit contract will be extended by the same term if you select the automatic extension of your deposit. The interest rate and terms and conditions of the deposit contract effective at the moment of extension are used as its basis. You can amend the automatic extension term at any time. You can also specify whether you want to extend the deposit including the earned income or only in the principal amount. Term and savings deposits can be automatically extended.

  • If I have opened a term deposit, will it extend automatically as an e-deposit?

    The currently effective e-deposit interest rate is not applied to term deposits opened before 4 September 2008 that extend automatically after the expiry of the deposit term. The deposit is extended with the ordinary term deposit interest rate that is currently effective. Please wait until the end of the deposit term in order to earn as much as possible. Enter into a new contract for a term e-deposit in the Internet bank when your current deposit expires.

  • How can I enter into a deposit contract?

    The easiest way of entering into a deposit contract is in the Internet bank. It only takes a few minutes. Select the suitable deposit type from the Deposits menu on the left-hand side of the Investments, savings, pension page. Fill in the required fields and read the deposit terms, then agree with the terms in order to enter into the contract. You can also open deposits at branches of the bank. Call Swedbank Client Support on 6 310 310 if you have any questions or to book a consultation.

  • What deposit should I go for?

    • If you have a large amount of money that you do not wish to use at present, then one of the options is to place it into a term deposit. This allows you to earn income from a certain amount during the agreed period. The term e-deposits in euros opened in the Internet bank earn more income than deposits entered into at branches of the bank.
    • If you want to save regularly, we recommend the savings deposit that you can top up at any time and by any amounts. All extra money paid into the deposit will start earning interest immediately after it is received on the deposit account. You can enter into a savings deposit contract for 6, 9 or 12 months and the interest rate depends on the deposit term, not the amount. Savings deposit is suitable for everyone – it offers the option to increase the deposit by making extra payments and to make free money earn interest.
    • Investment deposit is meant for people who are more prepared to take risks and wish to earn income from the changes in the prices of securities during the deposit period. At the same time, the principal amount of your deposit is 100% guaranteed. You earn more interest in favourable conditions.

    The deposit calculator will help you decide which deposit is the best for you! Call Swedbank Client Support on 6 310 310 if you have any questions or to book a consultation.

  • Can I add money to my deposit?

    You can add money to savings deposits. Read more about adding to your deposit here.

    In the case of a term deposit, you earn income from a certain amount to which you cannot add. You can also not add to investment deposits. You can always open a new deposit if you have a term or investment deposit and want to deposit more money.

  • How can I cancel a deposit?

    Clients can cancel their term deposits and savings deposits early at any time by terminating the deposit contract in the Internet or telephone bank or at any branch of the bank. The bank does not pay out the interest earned if the client terminates the contract before the expiry of the deposit term. The bank will withhold the income paid out from the deposit amount transferred to the client’s account.

    Cancelling an investment deposit before the sales deadline is free. However, if you wish to cancel during the term of the deposit, you will have to pay a fee, which is a certain percentage of the amount of the deposit. If you have earned any income up to the point at which you cancel the deposit and it is larger than the cancellation fee, the balance is yours to keep. For example, if the interest rate at the moment of cancellation is 15% and the cancellation fee rate is 7%, you will be paid the remaining 8%. The less time there is until the end of the deposit term, the smaller the cancellation fee.
