*Up to 3.11% Bonus Interest on all your EUR savings until your first threshold calculation. After that, savings up to your threshold earn Base Interest (1.61% on the first €10,000, 1.51% above that), and savings above your threshold earn 3.11% Bonus Interest. bunq rates as of October 2026. Terms and conditions apply.
* bunq savings account (individual, joint or child account), available on all bunq subscriptions, including the free plan, with no management fees. Gross annual rates. Your threshold is the highest balance reached over the last 6 months. The part of your savings up to your threshold earns a fixed base rate of 1.61% on the first €10,000 and 1.51% above €10,000. The part above your threshold earns a fixed bonus rate of 3.11% instead of the base rate: the advertised “up to 3.11%” rate therefore only applies to amounts above your threshold. The rates do not change; it is your threshold — and thus the amount to which each rate applies — that evolves over time. These rates are not promotional and have no end date. Interest is calculated and paid pro rata each week. Example: with a threshold of €5,000 and a balance of €10,000, you earn 1.61% on the €5,000 up to your threshold and 3.11% on the €5,000 above it, i.e. approximately €118.89 over 6 months (new threshold: €10,118.89). After an additional deposit of €5,000, you earn 1.61% on €10,000, 1.51% on €118.89 and 3.11% on €5,000, i.e. approximately €160.34 over the following 6 months, or approximately €279.23 over 12 months in total (assuming interest is kept in the account; amounts vary depending on your deposit day). Interest is paid on savings up to €100,000. bunq B.V., Basisweg 32, 1043 AP Amsterdam, Netherlands — credit institution authorized in the Netherlands, operating in France under the freedom to provide services.
