Our verdict
Instabank suits Norwegian savers who want an easy-access account they can draw on at short notice. The headline rate of 2.2% to 2.5% is variable and modest, and the account earns its place on access: no term, no withdrawal fees and no limits on getting money out.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Withdrawals carry no fees and no limits, and the high rate account allows some free withdrawals each year.
- Deposits have no term and no minimum, so savings stay reachable without a lock-in.
- Help is available by phone, email, chat and an online help centre on phone, email and chat.
Cons
- The rate is variable, so 2.2% to 2.5% is not locked in and can move with the base rate the bank sets.
- 2.2% to 2.5% sits below the median rate of 3.08% for the savings accounts compared here.
Who it suits
- Savers in Norway who want their money reachable whenever they need it.
- Anyone who withdraws regularly, since withdrawals carry no fees and no limits.
- Savers comfortable with a variable return, since the rate type here is variable.
Who should look elsewhere
- Savers chasing the biggest headline rate, since PayPal Colombia lists 3.3% and Plazo ES 24.19% against 2.2% to 2.5% here.
- People after a card and credit deal rather than savings, with AXI Card quoting 21.59% on its own terms.
Fees and FX
Holding the account costs nothing: the monthly fee is €0 and the minimum deposit is €0, so there is no sum to open it with and no charge to keep it open. Both figures are quoted in euro, which matters if your savings are held in another currency and you want to weigh local offers.
The company behind it
The savings account is provided by Instabank ASA, a bank headquartered in no. Support is handled through phone, email and chat, covering phone, email, chat and an online help centre. That mix suits people who like to talk to someone as well as read answers in their own time.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to keep the account open?+
The monthly fee is €0 and the minimum deposit is €0, so opening the account and holding it both cost nothing. Instabank runs on a no monthly fee basis, which means no balance level starts a charge and no sum leaves the account as a monthly cost.
Is there a minimum balance to open it?+
The minimum deposit is €0, and deposits carry no term and no minimum of their own, so a small amount is enough and an emergency fund stays available. Instabank ranks first on minimum deposit among the 370 brands compared here.
What rate do I earn and can it change?+
The headline rate is 2.2% to 2.5% and the rate type is variable, so the interest is not locked in for a term. The figure is shown as a range, and a variable rate moves with the base rate the bank sets, which suits savers who may need the money at short notice.
How does that rate compare with other savings accounts?+
Savings accounts on the site have a median rate of 3.08% and an upper quartile of 4.5%, and 2.2% to 2.5% falls below both across the 1,441 accounts compared. The case for this one is access and running costs, not the headline number.
Can I withdraw money whenever I need it?+
Withdrawals carry no fees and no limits, and the high rate account allows some free withdrawals each year on top of that. Deposits have no term, so nothing has to mature before you can take the money out. Support is on phone, email and chat if a transfer needs checking.
Is this an easy-access account or a fixed deposit?+
It is an easy-access account: the account kind is easy access, and deposits have no term and no minimum. Nothing is locked away for a set period, so the balance stays reachable while the rate on it is variable rather than fixed for a chosen term.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on phone, email and chat, so a question can go by phone, email, live chat or the online help centre. Having more than one route means a pressing problem can go to a person on the phone, while routine questions can wait in the help centre.
Who runs the account and where is it based?+
The savings account is provided by Instabank ASA, a bank headquartered in no. That is the legal entity named on the account terms, and the Norwegian base is where the provider is registered. Customers deal with the bank entity rather than a middleman.
