Raisin gives you access to deposit and savings accounts from banks across Europe - through one platform and completely online. Raisin`s services are free for you: Raisin receives a commission on brokered savings from its partner banks. Over 1 million European customers already save more than €60 billion with Raisin`s partner banks. To save with partner banks, you open your free Raisin account with Raisin Bank, your personal central transaction account with Raisin Bank. Then open and manage as many savings products as you wish from one central account - ideal if you want to spread your savings across different products, banks and countries!

The maximum investment limit per bank depends on the total amount invested and not on the number of deposits opened. In order to ensure that your funds are always protected by the Deposit Guarantee Schemes, the maximum investment amount per bank is up to €100,000. The minimum investment amount depends on the partner bank.

The services offered by Raisin Bank are provided free of charge. This includes opening and maintaining your Raisin Account, managing your international bank transfers (in euros), confirming your balance, sending statements, as well as our Customer Service in English. The opening and maintaining of term deposit accounts with our partner banks are also free as Raisin Bank receives a commission from the partner banks for the savings intermediated.

A deposit account is a savings product which allows you to make an investment of a certain amount for a fixed period of time and at a fixed interest rate, with all parameters being agreed to before entering into the contract. At Raisin Bank, we offer terms ranging from 3 months to 5 years. As a general rule, the interest you will earn will be higher the longer the period for which you deposit your money.

As a resident of Ireland, you will have to declare the interest earned on the deposits you sign up for through Raisin Bank when filing your income tax return. Depending on the product’s country of origin, it is possible this country will apply a withholding tax to the interest generated. However, in most European countries, you will be able to claim back this withholding tax by sending us a certificate of tax residence in Ireland. For countries where the withholding tax cannot be claimed back, you will be able to compensate for the amount when filing your annual tax return in Ireland. You will therefore never be taxed twice on the interest earned through Raisin Bank’s products. To find out more about how the products you take out with Raisin Bank are taxed, please consult our tax guide.

No – Raisin Bank does not withhold any taxes on interest earned. Interest income is earned at the relevant partner bank where you hold your deposit account and will be subject to double taxation agreements between your home country and the country of the term deposit investment. At the end of the term you will receive documents from the partner bank with all the information needed for your income tax declaration. Please note that you will be solely responsible for properly filing your tax returns in your home country.
