Cons
- Outgoing euro payments carry a larger flat charge in branch or by phone than in the digital channels
- Taking savings out with less notice than required costs a percentage of the amount plus a minimum charge

Rates and card terms
The headline rate on the account is 1.85% and the rate type is variable, so what you earn on your balance can move with the bank.
The company behind it
The account is run by Luminor Bank AS, which is headquartered in Latvia, so it is a locally based bank rather than a branch of a foreign group. Help is offered through phone and help centre, which means you can call or work through the help centre. Phone support is the most common channel among the accounts on the site, at 79.5%.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a monthly fee to keep this account open?+
No. The monthly fee is €0, and the account sits in the no-monthly-fee group that covers 91.7% of the accounts on the site. On monthly fee it ranks 1 of 500 brands, so there is no recurring charge to budget for.
Does my balance earn interest?+
Yes. The headline rate is 1.85% and the rate type is variable, so the return can rise or fall with the bank. The median headline rate for everyday accounts on the site is 3.25%, so this is a modest rate next to the rest of the market.
How much do I need to open the account?+
The minimum deposit is €10, so a small opening amount is enough to get going. The site median minimum deposit is €0.11 and the everyday-account median is €0, which puts this entry point close to the usual threshold for this kind of account.
What does it cost to send euros out?+
Payouts run to a bank account, and euro payments to other banks carry a small flat fee in the digital channels with a higher one in branch or by phone. Order before the daily cut-off and a SEPA euro payment still goes out the same business day, so paying online keeps cost and speed together.
How many currencies can I hold?+
The bank handles 14 currencies, against a site median of 5 and an everyday-account median of 9. The account is euro based, so most spending and saving happens in euro, with payouts going to a bank account.
What do I get at cash machines?+
Cash machine use is part of the deal: free atm covers an allowance of €750 to €1,200 a period, so everyday withdrawals cost nothing. Free cash machine access sits with 52.9% of the accounts on the site and 64.6% of everyday accounts, so it is common rather than rare.
Can I get at my money quickly?+
The account is easy access, so everyday money is reachable as soon as you need it. Money placed for a term runs with a notice requirement: a request made with enough notice comes back with no commission charge, while a late request costs a percentage of the amount plus a minimum charge.
Who is this account aimed at?+
The bank lists teen as its customer group, and teen customers account for 31.3% of the accounts on the site. Luminor Bank AS is based in Latvia, so the service is built around one home market with a euro account at its core.
Can I get help when something goes wrong?+
Help comes through phone and help centre, which means a phone call or the help centre rather than live chat. Phone support is offered by 79.5% of the accounts on the site and a help centre by 86.1%, so both routes are common in this market.
