Austrian Anadi Bank AG is a challenger to the status quo, headquartered in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee. It operates in the core areas of digital banking, corporate banking, and public finance. Its primary goal is to provide simple and cost-effective digital services to its customers. From Carinthia to all of Europe: Anadi Bank was founded in 1896 as a state mortgage institution. Since then, it has stood the test of time and overcome numerous financial and geopolitical crises. Throughout its history, Anadi Bank has required a great deal of staying power and has repeatedly had to prove its ability to adapt to a new environment. This resilience is even reflected in its name: "Anadi" means "eternal" in Hindu. Regional value creation and support for the people of the region: Anadi Bank employs around 180 people. Almost 140 of them work in the digital sector. In recent years, it has created almost 100 digital jobs in Carinthia, thus making a tangible contribution to strengthening Carinthia as a business location. The strategic cooperation with the University of Klagenfurt, launched in 2023 to promote young talent, is also driving forward promising topics such as digitalization and AI. In the coming years, the bank plans to create additional new jobs in Carinthia. The state of Carinthia has close ties to Anadi Bank. Based on its history, the bank also sees a responsibility to make a contribution beyond job creation. With its association "Anadi hilft," the bank does just that: It supports selected social projects in the region and thus aims to strengthen social cohesion.

The Czech Republic has received an investment-grade rating with a stable outlook from all major rating agencies. The Czech banking system is considered healthy and stable.
The Czech Republic's statutory deposit guarantee scheme guarantees a maximum protection amount equivalent to EUR 100,000 per bank and customer. In the event of a payout by the Deposit Guarantee Fund, this is made in Czech crowns (CZK) at the exchange rate on the day the deposit guarantee event is determined. Therefore, a currency/exchange rate risk exists. Further information on deposit guarantee schemes can be found at https://www.garancnisystem.cz/de. Within the European Union, the minimum requirements are harmonized across all member states by Directives 94/19/EC, 2009/14/EC, and 2014/49/EU. It should be noted that this protection applies to a customer's entire deposits at a bank. This is relevant if not only the deposits brokered through WeltSparen were invested at a specific bank, but also if this customer has additional deposits at the respective bank.

Located between Germany, France, and Belgium, Luxembourg, with an area of 2,586 km² and a population of approximately 602,000, is one of the smallest member states of the European Union. However, due to its strategic geographical location, the continuous expansion of its foreign relations, and its integration into a larger economic environment, Luxembourg's economy and domestic market extend beyond the narrow confines of the Grand Duchy. Luxembourgers enjoy the second-highest per capita gross domestic product in the world after Qatar. Luxembourg's most important economic sector is finance, with many banks and insurance companies located here. Among the eurozone member states, only Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands enjoy a AAA rating, which was reaffirmed in March 2019. All of Luxembourg's major banks have passed the ECB (European Central Bank) stress tests with excellent results over the past four years. Luxembourg's financial world is increasingly making its mark in the green finance sector, for example with the Luxembourg Green Exchange (LGX), which, as an ecologically oriented stock index, now lists more than 50% of the world's green bonds.
Deposits, including accrued interest, are legally protected by the Luxembourg Deposit Guarantee Fund up to an amount of EUR 100,000 per customer and per bank. Within the European Union, the minimum requirements are harmonized across all member states by Directives 94/19/EC, 2009/14/EC, and 2014/49/EU.

Deposits, including accrued interest, are legally protected by the Italian Deposit Guarantee Fund up to an amount of EUR 100,000 per customer and per bank.

German savers have received very low interest on their savings in recent years – many banks even charged negative interest rates. One major reason was the monetary policy of the European Central Bank (ECB), which kept interest rates low to support the economy – even amid the highest inflation in nearly 30 years. This situation was unsatisfactory for savers, as it affected all common saving forms – classic savings, fixed-term, and overnight deposits.
Gradual interest rate hikes by the ECB since July 2022 brought a turnaround, with interest rates on savings rising again. Despite the first rate cut in June 2024, rates remain high. This means savers can still benefit from attractive interest rates on their deposits.
Interest rates abroad are often higher than those available in Germany. This is due to specific economic conditions in each country. While ECB policy plays a role, many other factors influence the supply and demand for savings.
These include the country's economic situation, savings behavior, banking cost structures, and financial industry competition. As a result, some foreign banks offer higher interest rates on savings than German banks – even within the EU or Eurozone. In the best case, this can help savers counter inflation.
Fixed-term deposits allow savers to invest money for a specified period at a guaranteed interest rate. They're ideal for saving unneeded funds that won’t be used until later. The interest rate remains unchanged throughout the term. However, this predictability also means savers usually can't access their funds during the fixed period. Nevertheless, fixed-term deposits often yield higher interest than overnight deposits.
To the fixed deposit offersOvernight accounts are not tied to a fixed term. You can cancel at any time and access your money – even abroad. Overnight savings are best for short-term investment. Like fixed-term deposits, foreign overnight accounts often offer higher interest rates than German ones.
Transactions require an additional checking account, as overnight accounts aren't suited for regular payments. Interest is typically paid monthly, quarterly, or annually. Most banks offer free account setup and management, and online banking is widely available.
For short- to mid-term investors, a savings plan tied to an overnight account may be worthwhile. With WeltSparen, savers regularly benefit from attractive rates offered by partner banks. You stay flexible, can access your balance at any time, and adjust your saving rate as needed.

Foreign bank investments can be held in the local currency, in euros, or in other widely used currencies like the US dollar (USD) or Norwegian krone (NOK). This depends on the specific fixed deposit offers. Euro-denominated investments eliminate currency risk.
Investing in foreign currencies involves currency risk and opportunity. If the currency strengthens against the euro, savers not only receive their interest and principal back but also gain from the exchange rate. If the currency weakens, a loss occurs. Therefore, both the interest rate and currency outlook should be considered when investing in non-euro fixed-term deposits.
Both fixed-term and overnight deposits abroad are protected against bank insolvency. For banks within the EU, harmonized deposit guarantee schemes apply. Some non-EU countries like Norway and Switzerland also offer equal or higher protection standards.
Under EU regulations, deposits up to €100,000 per person and bank are legally protected by national deposit guarantee funds. If insolvency is imminent, the responsible financial regulator must confirm it within five business days. Once confirmed, compensation must be paid to the customer within seven business days.
In Germany, investment income is subject to withholding tax if the tax exemption threshold is exceeded. For foreign interest, no German tax is withheld automatically – investors declare it in their annual tax return.
Some foreign interest income is subject to withholding tax in the source country. If the investor is subject to German income tax, the German tax office offsets this against domestic tax liability. As a result, the overall tax burden is similar to domestic investment – only the process differs slightly. Realized currency gains are also taxable, while currency losses may be deductible.

At WeltSparen, the security of your investment is our top priority when selecting partner banks. We only collaborate with banks that are protected by a national deposit guarantee scheme in accordance with EU regulations (including foreign currencies) and that hold a full banking license from their national regulatory authority. Additionally, all foreign partner banks are registered with the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) as cross-border financial institutions. Our German partner banks are supervised by both BaFin and the European Central Bank (ECB).
Currently, savers can invest with over 140 partner banks across Europe. Sweden remains one of the most popular destinations for German savers. This is due to several factors: the country’s AAA sovereign credit rating from Standard & Poor’s, its low national debt, robust deposit insurance reserves, and the solid financial position of Swedish banks—all of which make saving in Sweden especially attractive.
Investing in SwedenTo invest your money abroad at attractive interest rates, you typically need to open a foreign savings or fixed-term deposit account. This process usually requires a verification procedure, which can often mean appearing in person—especially within the EU and sometimes beyond.
