Our verdict on each

Finom

Finom suits freelancers and small businesses that want a euro cash account with a set rate and instant access. A minimum deposit of €0 and local IBAN details make it easy to open, though the fixed rate will not follow the market and support runs on email, chat and help centre only.

Pros and cons

Finom

Pros

  • The minimum deposit is €0, so an account can be opened without a large opening balance.
  • The transfer fee leaves outgoing SEPA transfers free on the Solo plan within a monthly limit.
  • Local IBAN details sit alongside 17 currencies, so one account can take payments in several currencies.

Cons

  • The interest rate is fixed, so it will not rise with the market while most savings accounts here are variable (79%).
  • The transfer fee for outgoing international payments is higher on the Solo plan than on the Pro plan.
  • Deposit protection is EU DGS up to EUR 100,000, so any balance above that cap sits outside the scheme.

Unibank deposits

Pros

  • The headline rate of 7% to 10.5% sits well above the savings account median of 3%, and the rate type is fixed
  • Terms run 3 to 24, so savers can pick the length that suits them rather than take a single set period
  • Help is available by email, chat and phone, including phone, chat and a help centre

Cons

  • Premature withdrawal pays a cut of the annual rate rather than the full amount, so any early return of the cash costs interest
  • Access runs at maturity or through a monthly interest payout, both narrower than the easy access savings most readers compare at 76.7%
  • The minimum deposit of AZN 500 sits above the fixed deposit median of €190

Who each suits

Finom

Who it suits

  • Freelancers and sole traders who need local IBAN details and can move money the same day it arrives.
  • Small businesses paid in euros by clients abroad who want several currencies in one place.
  • Readers who want a set rate on working money rather than the highest variable rate on the table.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone ranking purely on the headline figure, since Plazo ES lists 24.19% and AXI Card Tarjeta y Credito 21.59%.
  • Variable rate savers, since 79% of the brands in this group pay a variable rate and the Finom rate is fixed.
  • Readers happy with a wallet and a smaller return, since PayPal Colombia lists 3.3%.

Unibank deposits

Who it suits

  • Savers in Azerbaijan with a set sum to put away for a known term
  • People who can leave the balance untouched until it matures
  • Holders of manat who want their money under Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan supervision

Who should look elsewhere

  • People who need to withdraw at short notice, since premature withdrawal pays a cut of the annual rate
  • Savings seekers wanting an easy access account, as this one is fixed
  • Readers who want a term longer than 3 to 24

Questions about each

Finom

What does it cost to keep a Finom account?+

The monthly fee is €0 and the minimum deposit is €0, so there is no cost to holding a balance and no need for a large opening payment. The charge that matters is currency conversion at 1%, plus outgoing international payments, which cost more on the Solo plan than on the Pro plan.

Is my money protected if something goes wrong?+

Balances sit under the EU deposit guarantee scheme, with protection stated as EU DGS up to EUR 100,000. Finom is entered on the Dutch register as R180074 and on the Cypriot register as 456/25, so more than one supervisor is watching the business.

Unibank deposits

What rate does Unibank pay on its fixed deposits?+

The headline rate of 7% to 10.5% applies on a fixed basis, so the figure holds for the whole term. That sits above the upper quartile of 4.15% among savings accounts on the site and well over the median of 3%.

How much do I need to open the account?+

The minimum deposit is AZN 500, a little above the fixed deposit median of €190 across the site. Terms run 3 to 24, and the balance is held in manat through UNIBANK Commercial Bank Open Joint-Stock Company.
