Meilleurtaux review

The account pays a headline rate of 2%, and that rate is variable, so it can move as market rates change. For scale, the median headline rate across savings accounts here is 3.08%, and Meilleurtaux ranks 316 of 473 brands on that figure.

The monthly fee is €0, and the account is set up on a no-monthly-fee model, the pattern behind 91.7% of savings accounts in this comparison. Costs therefore sit in the minimum deposit rather than in a recurring charge.

Your balance sits under EU DGS up to EUR 100,000, the EU guarantee scheme, so deposits are covered within that limit if the provider fails. Capital on the account is guaranteed, and the provider holds French registrations, so the money sits in a single market under French rules.

Withdrawals are made through the client area, and the account is easy access, so capital is always available without a notice period. Closure is also on request without notice, which sets it apart from a product where savings stay tied up for a period.

The minimum deposit is €10. Across savings accounts on this site the median minimum is €0.11, and the lowest in the set is €0, so this floor is a real step up for anyone starting from a small amount. On minimum deposit, Meilleurtaux ranks 256 of 370 brands.

The provider is Meilleurtaux SAS, based in France, and the account carries an ORIAS registration of 07031613. ACPR is the other French authority named for the provider, so this is a domestically registered account set up under French rules.

Support runs on email, chat and phone, so email, chat and phone are all covered. That mix matters for a savings account, because withdrawals and closures are handled through the client area and a phone line is offered for anything that needs checking on the account.
