As a Start-up that Save again profitable to make

The Swiss hoarding a lot of cash despite zero interest rates. Many shares and investment funds is critical. However, the banks are dismayed. You pay because of the negative interest rates for small savers. Financial institutions are therefore trying for some time to make your customers with sugar bread (cajoling) and whip (fees, negative interest rates) investors.

"The customers are not happy, if you have no earnings on the Savings, and the banks," said Thomas von Hohenau, member of the Board of Deposit Solutions. So the German company is behind the Internet platform Savedo. The new platform is to bring savers and institutions: you want to get the money in Switzerland from the niche.

Swiss interest rates are among the highest

money is money that is created for a pre-defined period of time. The saver gets a small interest rate. The first offerings to come from the Munich-based mortgage Bank and the mortgage Bank of Lenzburg. The Institute of Munich for a year, 0.1 percent, and for two years, 0.2 percent. The Hypi Lenzburg offers for a period of four years, 0.25 percent, and for seven years, 0.65 per cent. A minimum amount, there is not.

In the case of foreign product banks certain Savedo-interest rates are likely to be significantly higher than for Swiss cash bonds and term Deposit accounts. However, the risk is in the case of foreign product banks also slightly higher.

fixed deposits are yet for Swiss investors is still not a big issue. "Savedo but has a Chance in Switzerland, if you manage to bring the money as an investment with attractive rates of interest into the conversation," says Manz. One of the decisive factors for success will be the level of interest rates, particularly those for short maturities.
