Our verdict on each

Current

Current is a set-aside account for a teen in the US who wants a pot they can reach from the phone. The minimum deposit is $0.01 and the variable rate runs 0.25% to 4%, so the pay on savings can move as the provider adjusts it.

Read the full Current review

Danske Bank DK

Danske Bank's Danske Toprente suits adults in Denmark who can leave their savings untouched for the full term, and the everyday side is cheap at monthly fees of DKK 0 to DKK 49. The reward sits on the fixed term account, so pick this one to hold savings rather than to spend day to day.

Pros and cons

Current

Pros

  • Deposits are covered by FDIC up to USD 250,000, which is the detail a new saver should check.
  • The stated audience is teen, and the account kind is easy access.
  • Pods open on demand in the mobile app with no notice period, so a set-aside stays flexible.

Cons

  • The 0.25% to 4% range has a low floor, so a pod can earn very little for stretches.
  • Support runs on chat, email and help centre, so there is no phone line for urgent questions.
  • Currency conversion costs 3%, which makes it a weak base for holding travel money.

Danske Bank DK

Pros

  • Monthly fees of DKK 0 to DKK 49 on the everyday account, and the bank lists a no monthly fee model (no monthly fee).
  • Deposits sit with the EU deposit guarantee scheme at EU DGS up to EUR 100,000.
  • Help is available by email, chat and phone, so a phone line and live chat are both in the mix.

Cons

  • A fixed rate over a term of 3 to 12 means the balance stays put for months at a time.
  • A minimum deposit of DKK 10,000 ties up real cash, and taking money out early costs a penalty.
  • The stated audience is student and teen, so the account is pitched at a narrower group than a general current account.

Who each suits

Current

Who it suits

  • A teen in the US starting to set money aside, since the stated audience is teen.
  • Anyone happy to manage saving in the app, since pods run on demand with no notice period.
  • US savers paid in dollars, with transfers moving over us ach.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Plazo ES, whose headline rate of 24.19% sits well above the 0.25% to 4% range here.
  • AXI Card Tarjeta y Credito, listed at 21.59% if a higher headline number is the goal.
  • PayPal Colombia, listed at 3.3%, for anyone shopping only on the headline rate.

Danske Bank DK

Who it suits

  • Adults in Denmark with savings to place for a set period and no need for daily access to the balance.
  • Readers who want deposit protection through the EU guarantee scheme rather than a payments account.
  • Younger savers in Denmark: the stated audience is student and teen and the everyday account carries free ATM withdrawals.

Who should look elsewhere

  • bunq, if a monthly fee of €0 makes the fee the main reason to switch.
  • Pixpay FR, for a euro account with a monthly fee of €3.99 rather than Danish kroner.
  • bunq Spain Bank Account, if a monthly fee of €0 and a bank outside Denmark fit better.

Questions about each

Current

What does it cost to run a Current account?+

The monthly fee is $0 and the model is no monthly fee, so there is no standing charge to watch. Bank transfers are listed as $0 - no bank transfer fees. The cost that does apply is currency conversion at 3%, which matters if money is held or spent in another currency.

How do I move money in and out?+

Transfers run over us ach, so money moves through the US system. Bank transfers carry $0 - no bank transfer fees, and the minimum deposit is $0.01, so a small transfer is enough to open a pod and add to it later.

Danske Bank DK

What does the account cost each month?+

Monthly fees run DKK 0 to DKK 49 on the everyday account, and the bank groups that under a no monthly fee model (no monthly fee). Basic banking is the part that stays cheap; the reward for saving sits on the fixed term account rather than on day to day spending.

Is my deposit protected?+

Yes. Deposits are covered by the EU deposit guarantee scheme at EU DGS up to EUR 100,000. Danske Bank A/S is supervised in Denmark by Finanstilsynet, the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority, so the money sits with a bank rather than a payments firm.
