Scored 9.0 / 10 by SumCue.

Who it suits

  • Euro-based savers who want instant access to their money
  • Anyone who will leave a balance untouched for a while and does not mind a variable rate
  • Savers whose balance stays inside EU DGS up to EUR 100,000

Who should look elsewhere

  • Sterling savers who need a UK account, where Wise pays 3.29%
  • Savers who want a fixed rate for a set term, since Finteres runs 0% to 36%
  • Anyone who needs help on the phone, where bunq offers more support routes than email and help centre

Fees and currency costs

Go&Grow has no monthly fee: €0 is charged every month, and the account is set up on a no-monthly-fee basis. The minimum deposit is €1, so a small first payment opens the account. The one cost sits on access rather than on the balance. Withdrawals can be made at any time and land almost instantly, but a withdrawal fee applies, and all payments run in euros only, which means a sterling saver pays a conversion cost outside the account.

Frequently asked questions

What rate does Go&Grow pay?+

Go&Grow pays a variable headline rate of 6%. That is well above the savings median of 3.06%. Because the rate is variable, the figure can move in either direction.

Is there a monthly fee?+

No. The monthly fee is €0, and the account runs on a no-monthly-fee basis. There is no inactivity charge listed for the account either, so holding it open costs nothing.

How much do I need to deposit?+

The minimum deposit is €1, which is among the lowest minimums on the site. That figure sits well below the savings median minimum deposit of €0.17.

Can I withdraw my money quickly?+

Yes. Withdrawals can be made at any time and land almost instantly. A withdrawal fee applies to each withdrawal, so frequent access does carry a small cost.

Is my money protected?+

Yes. Deposits are covered by EU DGS up to EUR 100,000. The operator is Go&Grow OU, supervised in Estonia by the Estonian Financial Supervision Authority and licensed in Finland by the Finnish Regional State Administrative Agency.

Which currency does the account use?+

The account handles euro payments only, and the minimum deposit is set in euros. A saver paid in sterling would need to convert before depositing, and that conversion cost sits outside the account.

How do I get help?+

Support runs through email and help centre. There is no phone line or live chat listed, so questions are handled by email or through the help centre.

Who is this account for?+

It suits savers who want easy access, a high variable rate and no monthly charge. It suits those who will leave money in place rather than moving it often, since each withdrawal carries a fee.
