Pros

  • A headline rate of 17.47% to 20.23% compares well with bunq at 3.01% and Wise at 3.29%

  • A demo account and a mobile app are both on offer, which suits beginners

Cons

  • Support runs on help centre and community only, with no direct phone line

Who it suits

  • Beginners in Egypt who want cash savings and small investments in one app
  • People who want instant access to their savings without withdrawal fees
  • Savers who are comfortable checking a variable balance often

Who should look elsewhere

  • Wise and bunq, where a lower headline rate is the priority: 3.29% and 3.01% sit well below 17.47% to 20.23%
  • Finteres, for savers who want a wide spread of rates to compare rather than one high variable figure, at 0% to 36%

Rates and card terms

The headline rate is 17.47% to 20.23% and the rate type is variable, so the return floats with the market rather than being locked for a term. That sits well above the 3% median for savings accounts on the site, which is the main draw here. The catch is that a variable rate carries no floor, so the balance is worth checking often.

Frequently asked questions

What rate does Thndr pay on savings?+

The headline rate is 17.47% to 20.23% and the rate type is variable, so it can move up or down rather than being fixed for a term. For context, the median headline rate across savings accounts on the site is 3%, well below this offer.

Is my money protected?+

Cash deposits are covered by FDIC up to USD 250,000. The brokerage in Egypt sits under the Financial Regulatory Authority of Egypt, with licence 804, and the company is registered as Axis Markets BV. Deposit cover applies to cash, not to investments.

Can I withdraw my savings at any time?+

Instant Savings can be withdrawn at any time with no fees. Monthly Savings withdrawals are free when they are scheduled ahead of the monthly cutoff, and a fee applies if the request comes in late. The account is listed as easy access, so access is the point of the product.

What can I invest in and what does a trade cost?+

The markets list covers stocks, etfs and funds, and a stock trade costs EGP 2. Everything runs through mobile app, and the design is aimed at beginners, so the order flow is short. A demo account is also offered, letting new investors practise before committing money.

How do I get help if something goes wrong?+

Support runs on help centre and community, so answers come from written articles and a community rather than a direct line. Anyone who needs to speak to a person should expect to go through the help centre first, and plan for a slower reply than a phone call would give.

Who is Thndr designed for?+

The stated audience is beginners, and the same app holds cash savings alongside the option to buy stocks, etfs and funds. That mix suits people starting out with investing, while the variable rate rewards checking the balance now and then rather than leaving it untouched.

How much risk is there in the investment side?+

Cash is covered by FDIC up to USD 250,000, but investments are not deposits, so market moves decide the outcome. For perspective, the median share of retail accounts that lose money across the site is 70.15%, so small sums and the demo account are a sensible place to start.
