Competition in online banking market seem to bring opportunities to consumers. A couple of days ago, Websella raised promotional interest rate to 6.00%, thus getting even with Webank promotion. The promotional rate is applied until the end of the year, but only on the first €30.000 deposited (a lower lmit than Webank, that has placed the limit at €50.000).
Websella is a bank account (not a saving account), nevertheless the “standard” interest rate is a good 3.50%: higher than ING Direct’s Conto Arancio saving account (3.00%), but a little lower than Santander Consumer Bank saving account (3.75%), or Webank (3.90%). Moreover, Websella bank account requires no fees to be payed (except bank account tax), bank transfer are free of charge, as ATM withdrawals from any bank in Italy.
