Maximize Your Savings: Understand Dollar and Euro Interest Rates and How to Earn More

To earn extra interest and access the ongoing Welcome Interest Rate, you don’t need to participate in any special campaigns. To grow your savings with this advantageous interest rate, all you need to do is meet the targets set for the specified products.

You can also earn extra interest and benefit from the ongoing Welcome Interest Rate for your Foreign Currency and Gold denominated Orange Account. The Welcome Period is not separate for each account; all your accounts benefit as your Welcome Period is extended. However, after the Welcome Period, the ongoing Welcome Interest Rate can be reached at different times for each currency due to the different extra interest rates in each currency.
