Our verdict on each

monobank

Monobank offers a headline rate of 16% with a business and freelancer account that costs nothing to run, which suits traders who can leave hryvnia alone for a set term. The trade-off is the minimum you must place and the lock-in, so anyone wanting same-day access should weigh an easy-access account.

Pros and cons

monobank

Pros

  • A headline rate of 16% on a fixed deposit sits far above PayPal Colombia at 3.3%.
  • The monthly fee is UAH 0, and sending money to another IBAN account costs 0 UAH for transfers to any IBAN account.
  • Currency conversion is 0%, so converting between currencies costs nothing.

Cons

  • The term runs 12 to 24 and the deposit renews itself by default, so a long commitment keeps rolling.
  • A minimum deposit of UAH 1,000 has to sit in the account before the balance starts earning.
  • The headline rate of 16% is below Plazo ES at 24.19% and AXI Card Tarjeta y Credito at 21.59%.

WeChat Pay

Pros

  • Weixin Pay is a mobile-payment solution launched jointly by Weixin and Tenpay in 2013.
  • It supports online and offline payment use; it is not a deposit account.

Who each suits

monobank

Who it suits

  • A Ukrainian business that can leave its balance alone for 12 to 24 and wants the return fixed.
  • A freelancer paid by Ukrainian clients who wants local account details in the form of iban.
  • A saver who reads the rate before anything else: 16% sits well above the 3% median across the site.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Rate chasers: Plazo ES lists 24.19% and AXI Card Tarjeta y Credito 21.59%, both above monobank's 16%.
  • Anyone who needs the money on demand, because the term runs 12 to 24 and the deposit renews itself by default. PayPal Colombia at 3.3% is worth weighing for anyone who accepts a much smaller return.

WeChat Pay

Who it suits

  • Weixin users who want to know the scope of the mobile payment service

Questions about each

monobank

What rate does monobank pay on its deposit?+

The deposit advertises a headline rate of 16% and the rate is fixed, so the figure holds for the whole placement rather than drifting with the market. For context, PayPal Colombia lists 3.3% on its savings product. That gap is the main reason a saver would pick this account.

How long do I have to leave the money in the deposit?+

The published term is 12 to 24 and the rate is fixed for that whole period. Terms can be taken as a fixed stretch or as a flexible one, so the length you sign up for is a choice rather than a single window. Readers who want shorter placements should set this against an easy-access account.

Can I withdraw before the term ends?+

Withdrawals are possible at any time and a balance can be reinvested whenever you want, so the term is a commitment rather than a lock. The point to watch is the default: the deposit renews itself into another term, so money left alone keeps rolling. The published term is 12 to 24 at a fixed rate.

What is the minimum deposit?+

The minimum deposit is UAH 1,000, which is the amount that has to sit in the account for the rate to start working. The monthly fee is UAH 0, so nothing is taken out of the balance each month. The median minimum across the savings accounts here is €0.11, so this entry point sits at the higher end.
