Penalty interest is coming to an end. After large direct bank ing, recently abolished negative interest on savings deposits, custodial fees are now also history at all SPARDA banks.

Florian Rentsch, chairman of the board of the Sparda Banks Association, referred to the interest rate hike announced by the European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt on Wednesday. “Sparda Bank will allow customers to participate in positive developments and eliminate custodial fees immediately,” he announced.

In all, 46 credit institutions in Germany currently have no interest on small or large credit balances – still without other Sparda banks – because the comparison portal Verivax is broken exclusively for T-Online.
