Our verdict

ODEF pays 1% annual interest on the average balance, and the account is easy access for adults in the informal economy. It suits Honduran savers with irregular income who want their money reachable, rather than readers chasing a higher rate on a term deposit.

  • Savers who want to reach their balance at short notice.
  • People who prefer phone and chat help from a long-established provider.

  • Anyone after borrowing rather than saving: Plazo ES lists 24.19% on a card offer.

Rates and terms

ODEF pays 1% annual interest on the average balance of the savings account, and the rate type is fixed. The account is written for natural persons working in the informal economy. Interest is worked out on the average balance, so what you earn follows the money you hold through the month rather than a single lump sum left untouched. Savings are meant to be drawn on as income arrives.

Who runs it

ODEF is based in Honduras, where the Comision Nacional de Bancos y Seguros (CNBS) is the regulator. The company has operated since 1985, which gives it a long record in local finance. Support runs on chat, phone and help centre, so account questions reach a phone line, a live chat or the help centre rather than a single channel.

Frequently asked questions

What interest rate does ODEF pay?+

ODEF pays 1% annual interest, worked out on the average balance the account holds through the period rather than on a single lump sum. The rate type is fixed, so the headline figure is stated as a set rate rather than a variable one.

How much is needed to open the account?+

The minimum deposit is HNL 10, a small entry point for irregular income. You can open with that amount and add to the balance as pay arrives. Because interest follows the average balance, regular top ups lift what the account pays over the year.

Can I reach the money when I need it?+

The account kind is easy access, and the published terms give a balance you can draw on rather than one locked for a period. That suits people whose income arrives in irregular instalments. Interest at 1% follows the average balance, so withdrawals change what you earn.

Who runs ODEF and which regulator oversees it?+

ODEF is based in Honduras and has been trading since 1985. The Comision Nacional de Bancos y Seguros (CNBS) is the regulator listed for the country, so the provider sits inside the local supervision system. Account questions can also go to chat, phone and help centre.

Who is the account designed for?+

ODEF describes the account as a savings product for natural persons in the informal economy, so adults with irregular income are the core audience. The minimum deposit of HNL 10 keeps it reachable, and 1% on the average balance is a modest return.

How does the rate compare with other options?+

At 1% on the average balance, ODEF pays less than the savings account median of 3.08%. PayPal Colombia lists 3.3% and AXI Card lists 21.59% on their own offers, though a wallet or a card is a different product from a savings account, and the gap between the offers is wide.

What support is available?+

Support runs on chat, phone and help centre, so questions can go to a phone line, a live chat or the help centre. A phone line suits savers who prefer to talk the account through, and the help centre answers common questions without a call. All three are available to savers in Honduras.
