You get the bonus as long as the customers remain active with us. Conditions for a friend recommendation: Please note that friend recommendations are restricted to private use; commercial mediation of the applications is not permitted. The logo and name of Fidor Bank are subject to copyright. You receive a bonus when the person you recommended registers using your recommendation link and identifies themselves in full. In the event that the applicant was previously a customer of Fidor Bank during the 6 months preceding the application or makes use of their two-week right to cancellation, you will not receive a bonus. For you to receive a bonus credit for introducing with a new customer, they must set themselves up using your recommendation link. This saves a "cookie" on the new customer's computer. In the event that this cookie is deleted or obstructed by manual browser settings, the subsequent establishment of a new customer cannot be rewarded.

Fidor Bank Savings Bonds

At Fidor Bank, we endeavour to adapt our offering to the needs of our clients while keeping things as simple as possible. For this reason, we have decided to let our clients invest as little as £100 in Savings Bonds for the duration of their choice (3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months).
Savings Bonds can be created at any point in time, in less than 60 seconds, directly from a Fidor Bank Smart Current account. Issuing a Savings Bond is FREE and has no management fee, the only thing we require is that you hold a Fidor Smart Current Account with a balance in excess of the amount of the Savings Bond you want.
Create your Savings Bond until 5.30pm on a working day. All bonds created after 5.30pm will only be funded on the next working day. If you create your bond before 5.30pm it will be funded on the same day and will become visible in your overview around 8.15pm.

Deposit Term Interest Rate

Minimum £100
Maximum £100,000

 3 Months 0.8% p.a.
6 Months 1.0% p.a.
9 months 1.4% p.a.
12 Months 1.8% p.a.
18 Months 1.9% p.a.
24 Months 2.2% p.a.
36 Months 2.45% p.a.
​

Interest rates are calculated on the basis of the euro interest rate method.

Interest deposit: The interest payment together with the amount invested is directly deposited into your Fidor Smart Current Account at the end of the duration of the Savings Bond you have chosen, subject to any applicable tax. If your Savings Bond matures on a weekend day or a bank holiday it will be credited to your account on the next working day.

Representative example:
Your Savings Bond matures on a Saturday. This day will be replaced by the next working day (German Civil Code BGB § 193) and as such you will not receive credit for the Sunday because the Sunday lies outside the period covered by the bond. Fidor Bank will credit the total amount (principal plus interest earned) on the next working day (in this example that would be Monday) to the Fidor Smart Current Account of the beneficiary of the bond.

Notes about the statutory deposit insurance: Fidor Bank AG is a member of the Statutory Compensation Scheme for German Banks. This deposit insurance scheme covers customer deposits in the amount of the GBP equivalent of €100,000.

Interest rate on Fidor Smart Current Account

At Fidor Bank, we are all about community banking and know happy customers are our best advocates. For this reason, we have decided to reward the community for their active participation in helping us spreading the word on Facebook with a Like-Interest rule.
The principle is simple: The more likes Fidor UK receives on Facebook, the higher the interest rate on the Fidor Smart Current Account balance will be!

​1 The interest rate is currently 0.3% per annum.​

The variable interest rate is currently 0.3% per annum (effective 01.03.2016, subject to change). Due to interest calculation methods, any hurdle that is achieved by the 25th day of any given month will result in the new interest rate coming into effect in the next month. Interest rates are calculated on the basis of the euro interest rate method.

Overview of the states of EEA and EU belonging to SEPA

Please be aware that if you transfer money to a country that has a currency other than EUR you might be charged a conversion fee by the receiving bank. The procedure for all SEPA transfers is as follows. Your GBP amount gets converted into EUR at the displayed exchange rate and sent to the receiving bank. If the receiving bank account is not denominated in EUR, then the receiving bank will convert the EUR amount into the local currency. This exchange rate is set by the receiving bank and may vary from market rates. The receiving bank may also charge a fee for the conversion. Fidor Bank will not cover any fees charged by the receiving bank or guarantee the exchange rate used by the receiving bank.
