Rates & Pricing

Basic banking is free. As it should be. For all.
You only pay for cash and chosen extras, and only when you use it. (Which means that you don’t end up cross-subsidising other customers.)
Right from the start you have access to everything. We don’t catch you by offering entry-level accounts where you’re forced to upgrade for better solutions.

The pricing applies equally to all accounts – all types of businesses and all individuals.
