Savings
Pros and cons
Pros
- The savings account carries a monthly fee of CZK 0 and a minimum deposit of CZK 0, so holding money there costs nothing.
- The arrangement fee on the Expres pujcka is free when arranged online, by phone or in branch, and the loan granting fee is 0%.
- Money is sent to the account within minutes of signing the contract.
- The card pays Reward up to CZK 6,000 per year on Kreditni karta Smart in cashback (cashback).
Cons
- Free early repayment is not offered on the personal loan, so an early exit is not the free option it is with some lenders.
- The credit check is hard, so approval leans on the file you already have.
- The savings rate is variable (variable), so 2.6% is a starting point rather than a fixed return.
Who it suits
- Czech residents who want savings and borrowing from one bank, with money available at any time and no notice period on the savings account.
- Borrowers funding a home improvement project who can pass a hard credit check and need funds in the account within minutes of signing the contract.
- Homebuyers looking at a mortgage with an initial rate of 4.99% and a product fee of CZK 0, for a purchase or a remortgage.
Who should look elsewhere
- Monzo Flex pays none in rewards, so it suits people who would rather carry a card with no cashback rate attached to their spending.
- Starling Personal Account Debit Card, where rewards are none, suits anyone who would rather not track a rewards balance on everyday spending abroad.
Rates and terms
The savings account pays 2.6% at a variable rate (variable), while the personal loan starts at an APR of from 4.38% with a term of up to 120. A variable rate matters: the savings headline can move with the market, so it is a starting point rather than a promise for the life of the balance.
Who runs it
The bank trades as MONETA Money Bank, a.s., is headquartered in Czechia and was founded in 1998, making it a domestic Czech bank rather than a branch of a foreign group. Contact runs on phone, chat and help centre, which covers phone, chat and a help centre for questions on a loan application or the savings account.
