Pros and cons
Pros
- Funds sit at your disposal at any moment, exactly as with a current account, so this is an easy access balance rather than a fixed term pot.
- You bank with De Surinaamsche Bank N.V., which is based in Suriname and has been running since 1865.
- Help is available over chat for day to day questions.
Cons
- The account costs SRD 25 a month, while €0 of everyday accounts here carry no monthly fee.
- Support runs on chat only, and phone is the main channel for 79.5% of accounts on the site.
- Currency choice is 3, short of the 5 held by multi-currency accounts here.
Who it suits
- Anyone in SR counted among business and student customers.
- People who want interest of 3.5% on money they can still spend the same day.
- Holders of 3 currencies whose everyday banking stays in Surinamese dollars.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants no monthly charge: Plazo ES runs at €0.
- Skrill, if a fee-free everyday balance matters more than earning 3.5% on deposits.
- PayPal Colombia, if a payments wallet with a monthly fee of $0 fits your setup better.

Frequently asked questions
What does DSB Instaprekening cost to run?+
Running the account costs SRD 25 a month, where €0 of everyday accounts carry no monthly fee at all. You also need SRD 10,000 in the account to get started, so the fee is only part of what it takes to hold one.
What interest do I earn, and can the rate change?+
The rate is 3.5% and it is a variable rate, so the bank can move it. The money stays easy to reach: funds sit at your disposal as with a current account. The median for accounts in this group is 3.25%.
Can I get at my money at any time?+
Yes. Funds sit at your disposal at any moment, the same as a current account. That makes it an easy access account, which is what 76.7% of the accounts on the site are too. Nothing is locked away for a term.
How many currencies can I hold?+
The account covers 3 currencies, so it suits everyday business and student money rather than a wide multi-currency wallet. Accounts in the multi-currency group on the site hold 5 between them. If you need many currencies at once, this is a short list.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on chat here, so live chat is the route to a person. Phone support is the most common channel on the site, at 79.5%, which is worth weighing if you would rather call. A help centre is offered by 86.1% of accounts here.
Who runs the account and how long have they been going?+
The account is issued by De Surinaamsche Bank N.V., which is based in Suriname and has been running since 1865. It is aimed at business and student account holders, so you are signing up with a long established institution rather than a new name.
Are there cheaper everyday accounts?+
Plazo ES charges €0 a month, and Skrill €0, against SRD 25 here. PayPal Colombia's debit account is $0 as well. Those services are built around payments and wallets, while DSB Instaprekening pays 3.5% interest on the balance.
