What is the minimum amount to set up a term deposit or savings account?

For more details, see Information on deposit conditions for individuals.

When do I get interest on money in a savings account or term deposit?

Interest payments for term deposits are made monthly or every 30 days depending on the product selected.

Interest payments for savings accounts are calculated monthly or quarterly depending on the product selected, with interest transferred to the account on the first day of the month.

How is interest calculated on deposits and savings accounts?

General monthly interest calculation method: (Deposit balance*interest rate*number of days)/365*100

Calculation example: (20 000*2,5*180)/365*100=246,58

Balance (lei) - 20 000 thousand lei
Interest rate - 9,5%
180 - number of days of the month
365 - number of days in the year.

For more details, see Information on deposit acceptance conditions for individuals.

To which account is the interest transferred?

The interest calculated for term deposits is transferred monthly to the current or card account indicated when the deposit is opened.

Does the deposit automatically roll over on maturity?

The automatic extension option varies depending on the product selected.

Is interest income taxable?

Under current legislation, banks, savings and loan associations and issuers of corporate securities withhold a tax of 6% on interest paid to resident individuals and 9,5% on interest paid to non-resident individuals.

For example, if the bank calculates an interest of 100 lei for a certain period, then the amount of tax will be 6 lei (100*6%) and 93 lei (interest minus withholding tax) will be transferred to the account.

How can I get information about my deposit accounts?

Information on deposit accounts can be obtained at the branch or via OTP Internet/Mobile Banking.
