The only time a fee may apply is if you, as a customer, choose to make an early withdrawal from the Liquidity Account (0.75% of the withdrawn amount, with a minimum fee of 250 SEK). If you don’t make an early withdrawal, it’s completely free!

- Liquidity Account: Withdrawals can be made before the end of the term, but a fee of 0.75% of the withdrawn amount applies, with a minimum of 250 SEK.

Länk till fråganNordiska Fixed Rate Account (Fix)
A Fix Account is a savings account with a fixed interest rate and a locked term, which means your money is secured for a predetermined period at a fixed interest rate.
Länk till fråganYou can easily open a Fix Account by logging in with BankID on Nordiska's website, filling in your contact details, and selecting the savings account that best suits you. After approving the account terms with BankID, you can make your first deposit.
Länk till fråganWhen the term of a Fix Account ends, the interest is capitalized, and the entire amount, including interest (after tax deductions), is automatically transferred to your Flex Account. A Flex Account is automatically opened when you open a Fix Account. Afterward, you have the option to open a new Fix Account and transfer the amount again.
Länk till fråganYou can only make a single deposit when opening a Fix Account. Early withdrawals are not allowed during the binding period. If you wish to make multiple deposits, it is recommended to first transfer the funds to your Flex Account and then transfer the entire sum to your Fix Account in one go.
Länk till fråganWhen you open a Fix account with Nordiska, the fixed interest rate that applies is the one valid on the day your deposit becomes available for Nordiska in the account. This means that the interest rate shown when you open the account only applies if the deposit is made and available in the account on the same day. If there is a delay before your funds are deposited into the account, a different interest rate may apply depending on any adjustments made to the interest rate in the meantime.
Important to know:
- The interest rate is locked once the deposit becomes available in your Fix account.
- Interest is calculated daily over the selected term and remains fixed throughout the entire period.
- When the term of a Fix account ends, the interest and total amount, including the interest (after tax deductions), are automatically transferred to your Flex account.
For the most current interest rates, we always refer to Nordiska’s website and, after the account has been opened, to My Pages.
Länk till fråganYou can only make a single deposit for each Fix Account you open. If you wish to make multiple deposits, we recommend first transferring the funds to your Flex Account and then transferring the entire amount to your Fix Account in one go.
