Our verdict
LOLC Finance keeps a Sri Lankan easy-access account simple, with unlimited withdrawals, interest calculated daily and credited monthly. The variable headline rate of 4% puts it ahead of the typical savings account, and the setup suits savers who want cash access and a debit card rather than a fixed term.

Cons
- A monthly fee of LKR 100 applies, while the median monthly fee across savings accounts on the comparison is €0.

Who it suits
- Sri Lankan savers who want to reach their money at any time without giving up access to a card.
- Business account holders covering payroll or supplier bills, given the standing order facility.
- Customers who prefer an established provider: LOLC Finance PLC has operated since 2001.
Who should look elsewhere
- Plazo ES and AXI Card, which list 24.19% and 21.59%, if you are chasing the highest rate number on the site.
- PayPal Colombia, whose listed rate of 3.3% is lower than the 4% earned here.
Fees and FX
The easy-access account needs a minimum deposit of LKR 1,000 before the balance starts earning. Running costs come from a monthly fee of LKR 100 for the account, while the median monthly fee across savings accounts on the comparison is €0. The fee applies for as long as the account is open, so the minimum balance is what decides whether it is worth keeping.

Frequently asked questions
What rate does LOLC Finance pay on its savings account?+
The easy-access account pays a variable headline rate of 4%. Because the rate is variable, the number can be revised by the bank, so the balance is not tied to a return for a set term. Interest is calculated daily and credited to the account monthly, which keeps accrual steady between withdrawals.
What does it cost to hold the account?+
A monthly fee of LKR 100 is charged while the account is open. The median monthly fee across savings accounts on the comparison is €0, which makes this one of the heavier monthly charges in the group. On a modest balance the fee can eat the interest.
How much do I need to deposit to open the account?+
The minimum deposit is LKR 1,000. That is the balance you need in place before the account starts earning, and it sits well above the small minimums many savings accounts ask for. The median minimum deposit across the savings accounts on the comparison is €0.17.
Can I withdraw money whenever I want?+
Deposits and withdrawals are unlimited, and a standing order facility sits on the account for regular payments. The account is easy access, so there is no notice period to serve before you get at your money. An ATM or Visa debit card covers day-to-day spending.
Can I lock the rate for a fixed term?+
No. The account is easy access and its rate is variable, so there is no fixed term to lock the 4% headline into. Savers who want a guaranteed return for a set period need a different kind of product, since this one is built around access to the balance.
Who regulates LOLC Finance?+
LOLC Finance PLC is regulated in Sri Lanka by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, the licence the brand holds. Its base is in Sri Lanka, which makes this a local product, and the LKR 1,000 minimum deposit is quoted in Sri Lankan rupees rather than a foreign currency amount.
How do I get help with the account?+
Support runs by email and phone, so a phone call and an email both reach the bank directly. The easy access account comes with an ATM or Visa debit card, and standing orders handle regular payments without a branch visit. The legal entity behind the brand is LOLC Finance PLC.
