Our verdict

G&T Continental suits businesses, students and travellers who want a digital account with a variable interest rate and no monthly charge. The rate runs GTQ 0.50 to GTQ 2, below the site median of 3%, so the account works as everyday banking rather than a place to grow savings.

Who it suits

  • Businesses keeping everyday money in a digital account with no monthly charge.
  • Students and travellers who want a variable interest rate on easy access savings.
  • Readers who bank from a phone and want help by phone and email.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Plazo ES, if you want a euro account with a monthly fee of €0 rather than a variable interest rate on savings.
  • Skrill, if you would rather hold euro at €0 a month than keep local currency in a bank account.
  • PayPal Colombia, if a dollar account priced at $0 a month fits your money better than bank interest.

Who runs it

G&T Continental is the trading name of Banco G&T Continental, a bank based in Guatemala and trading since 1962. That history is long for a digital first bank, and the accounts range from savings you can reach at any time to a digital account.

Frequently asked questions

Does G&T Continental charge a monthly fee?+

The digital account runs at a monthly fee of GTQ 0, which puts it in line with the site median of €0. That makes it a cheap everyday account to hold. The cost to watch is international transfers, which carry GTQ 275 each.

What interest does the savings account pay?+

The savings account pays a variable annual rate of GTQ 0.50 to GTQ 2, capitalised monthly. Interest starts straight away rather than after a waiting period. Compare that with the site median of 3% for savings accounts, which sits well above this range.

How much do I need to open the account?+

The savings account needs a minimum deposit of GTQ 100. Anything above that balance earns the same variable rate, and the account kind is easy access, so withdrawals do not need notice. Interest starts as soon as money lands rather than after a lock up.

Which currencies can I hold?+

The account covers 2 currencies, which places it 274 of 379 brands on this measure. The everyday account median is 5, so multi currency use is the weaker part of the offer.

How do I contact the bank?+

Support runs on phone and email, so you can reach the bank by phone or by email. Phone is the common route in this group, used by 79.5% of brands, while email suits anything you would rather put in writing first.

Who is the account for?+

The bank names business, student and travelers as its audiences, so businesses and travellers come first. Businesses are the most common group in this field, at 56.5% of brands. The account is digital only, so it suits readers already comfortable banking from a phone.

How do I get money out?+

Payouts run to bank and cash pickup, so money can be sent to a bank account or collected as cash. Both routes are common in this field, with bank payouts at 88.5% of brands and cash pickup at 43.5%.

Do I need a branch to open the account?+

The account is digital only, and digital only accounts account for 50.7% of brands in this group, so opening and day to day managing happens in the app rather than at a counter. That suits readers who already bank from a phone.
