Frequently asked questions
Is there a monthly fee on this current account?+
No. The current account carries a monthly fee of €0, so keeping it open costs nothing each month. That is the cheapest end of the range most providers sit in, where the highest monthly fee across the site is €449.
What does it cost to send a payment to another bank?+
Outgoing payments to other banks carry a transfer fee, and the channel decides the price. The fee is lower when the payment goes through e-banking and higher when it is made in branch, so the route you take changes what a transfer costs. The monthly fee of €0 does not remove that difference.
How many currencies can I hold in one account?+
The account covers 7 currencies, enough for euro costs and everyday local spending in Kosovo. The list is shorter than some providers carry, with Skrill listing 47, so a wider currency spread points elsewhere.
Who regulates the bank, and how long has it been around?+
The bank is supervised by the Central Bank of Kosovo and trades as Raiffeisen Bank Kosovo J.S.C.. It has been operating since 2003, so it is an established name rather than a new entrant. A bank licence means your balance sits with a bank, not a payment platform.
Who is this account aimed at?+
The audience is teen, so a younger customer new to banking is the natural fit. It is a plain current account with a monthly fee of €0, so there is no standing cost to keep, and the same account can carry on into everyday use.
Where is the bank based?+
The bank is headquartered in Kosovo, and the account is held with Raiffeisen Bank Kosovo J.S.C.. That makes the bank itself the counterparty for your balance, card and payments, rather than an intermediary, which matters if you want one point of contact for a problem.
How does the monthly fee compare with the rest of the market?+
On monthly fee the account ranks 1 of 500 among the providers compared, because the fee is €0 while the highest monthly fee across the site is €449. There is little room below that, and the trade off is currency reach.
