Swedbank Estonia: economic decline has increased interest in investing money into fixed-term savings

Juhan Tere, BC, Tallinn, 17.12.2008.Print version
According to Swedbank Estonia, in the past couple of months people have displayed more interest in investing money into fixed-term savings, writes EPL Online/LETA.

Press spokesperson of Swedbank Kristi Künnapas stated that in comparison to November 2007, the volume of fixed-term savings of the bank’s individual customers has grown by nearly a quarter. “It is remarkable that conclusion of deposit contracts in the internet banking environment is becoming increasingly popular,” she added.

 

Yesterday a number of banks in Estonia have also stated that economic decline has not forced people to give up their savings and people do not easily withdraw money from their fixed-term savings accounts.

 

Press spokesman of SEB Silver Vohu stated that in the past few months the termination of fixed-term savings accounts has not increased significantly. “There is no such overall trend of people giving up on their savings before deadline,” he noted.
