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.

Wealthfront

Pros

  • A variable rate of 3.55% to 4.45% with no term to commit to
  • Instant withdrawals at any time with no charge, plus free ATM withdrawals with an allowance of $15
  • Deposits are covered by FDIC up to USD 250,000 and cash is held by WEALTHFRONT BROKERAGE LLC

Cons

  • The rate type is variable, so the 3.55% to 4.45% band can move with market rates
  • Transfers run on the local details listed as us ach, so funding is set up around US bank transfers
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, and live chat is not among them

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%.

Wealthfront

Who it suits

  • US savers who want a variable rate and same-day access rather than a fixed term
  • Households holding a joint account, one of the listed features alongside free ATM withdrawals
  • Anyone who wants to hold cash without a monthly charge, since the monthly fee is $0

Who should look elsewhere

  • Colombian readers, where PayPal Colombia lists a headline rate of 3.3% on a wallet balance
  • Readers after card-linked rates, such as AXI Card Tarjeta y Credito at 21.59% or Plazo ES at 24.19%
  • Anyone wanting a term deposit or a fixed rate, since the account is a cash management product with a variable rate

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.

Wealthfront

What rate does Wealthfront pay on cash?+

Wealthfront pays a variable rate of 3.55% to 4.45% on cash balances, with a variable rate type rather than a fixed one. There is no term to commit to and no balance threshold, since the minimum deposit is $0.

What does it cost to keep a Wealthfront account open?+

The monthly fee is $0 and the account runs on the no monthly fee model, so there is nothing to pay each month. Withdrawals can be made at any time at no charge, and ATM withdrawals are free with an allowance of $15.
