A Term Deposit lets you lock your money for a fixed period to earn a higher interest.
What rates can I earn with a Term Deposit?
The interest rate you earn depends on the term you choose and whether you look at the annual rate or the prorated return for the specific term length.
Gross Annual Interest Rate
This shows the annualised interest rate for each term. It helps you compare Term Deposits with different durations on a like-for-like basis, even though shorter terms don’t run for a full year.
For example:
3 months: 1.76% gross
6 months: 1.86% gross
12 months: 2.11% gross
24 months: 1.91% gross
Who can open a Term Deposit?

How much can I deposit?
You can deposit €1,000–€100,000 per Term Deposit.
You can open multiple deposits and savings accounts as long as the combined total stays below €100,000.
This means if you have €80,000 in a Term Deposit and €40,000 in a regular Savings account, interest is only earned on the first €100,000. If you have funds in both a Term Deposit and a regular Savings Account, we always prioritize paying interest on your Term Deposit first.
You’ll receive the Term Deposit interest on the full €80,000. Then, you’ll earn the regular savings interest on the remaining €20,000 of the limit (€100,000 - €80,000). The final €20,000 in your regular Savings Account will not earn interest, as you have already reached the €100,000 maximum.
Do I earn interest on everything I deposit?
Interest is earned on a combined maximum of €100,000 across all your EUR Savings Accounts and Term Deposits. Anything above that does not earn interest.
Can I add money after opening the Term Deposit?
No. Your deposit amount is fixed for the full term. Incoming transfers to the Term Deposit will bounce.
Can I withdraw money early?
Yes, but only as a full withdrawal, and an early withdrawal fee will apply. Partial withdrawals aren’t possible. Learn more
What happens at the end of the term?
When the term ends, your deposit and interest are paid to your main bank account and the Term Deposit account closes, so your money is ready to use immediately. Learn more
Is my money protected?
Yes. Term Deposits are covered under the Dutch Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS) up to €100,000 per person, combined across all EUR Savings Accounts and Term Deposits.
