Best savings accounts in Switzerland

Find the highest savings rates in Switzerland. Compare instant-access, fixed-term and Pillar 3a accounts – updated daily.

Saving pays off again: after years of low interest, Swiss banks now offer significantly more attractive conditions. But the differences are large. Those who compare get noticeably more out of the same savings. The key is to choose the right vehicle for your goal – flexibly available, fixed-term or tax-privileged via Pillar 3a.

We compare savings accounts by interest rate, availability and conditions. This shows you at a glance where your money works hardest.

Make more of your savings

The most important lever when saving is compound interest: The earlier and more regularly you save, the more your capital grows. A call money account is suitable for money that is available at short notice, and a time deposit account with a higher interest rate is suitable for a fixed amount over a longer period.

What is Pillar 3a?

Pillar 3a is tied private pension provision in Switzerland. Deposits are tax-deductible up to an annual maximum amount – a double advantage of interest and tax savings.

Sparstrategie aufbauen

  • Keep an emergency fund of 3–6 months' expenses flexible.
  • Use Pillar 3a for long-term provision.
  • Time deposit for predictable amounts that are not needed.
  • Compare interest rates regularly.
