Our verdict

Keytrade Bank is a Belgian easy-access savings account that suits anyone keeping a rainy-day pot in euros rather than chasing yield. The monthly fee is €0, the minimum deposit is €0, yet the variable rate of 1.2% sits well below the 3.08% typical of savings accounts.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The monthly fee is €0 and the minimum deposit is €0, so you can open it with a small amount and top it up as you save.
  • Access terms carry no conditions and unlimited duration, so the balance is not held for a set term.
  • The account kind is easy access, which keeps withdrawals straightforward.
  • Support runs on email, chat and phone, so help is available without a branch visit.

Cons

  • The variable rate of 1.2% sits well below the 3.08% median across savings accounts, so the balance earns little.
  • The rate type is variable, so the return is not locked in and can move down as well as up.
  • The overall score is 4.4 with an offer part of 1.6, and the offer is what pulls that rating down.

Can the rate change while I hold the account?+

The rate type is variable, so interest can move in either direction instead of staying locked for a set period. Access terms are unlimited in duration and carry no conditions, so the account can stay open without a fixed end date, but the return is not fixed in advance.

How much do I need to open the account?+

The minimum deposit is €0, so you can begin with a small balance and add to it later. There is no monthly fee of €0 to weigh against, and the product is aimed at euro savers in Belgium.

Can I get at my money whenever I want?+

How can I get help with the account?+
