Find out more about accounts2 additional accounts for anything you need and with whoever you want
To invest, save, share and pay, among other things, so you can organise your finances the way you want. You can open these two accounts with whoever you want: for you, your partner, your children, your grandchildren or for anyone you can think of.
Your return: how much, when and how does it work?
How?
This is important, because it is not based on the amount of your salary. We calculate the interest on the basis of your daily account balance. In other words, what matters is your daily account balance, not what you earn.
How much?
You will earn a return on your account balance for two years, subject in both years to a maximum interest-bearing balance of €5,000. In this case, you would earn €341.76 over the two years.
When will you receive the money?
In other words, two settlements in the first year and two settlements in the second year. Payment will be based on the daily balance in your account during those four six-month periods.

If you open a Salary/Pension/Business/Non-Salary/Youth Salary account, you can have up to two current accounts with no maintenance fee (NIR 0%, APR 0% calculated for a hypothetical daily balance of €5,000 maintained for one year). This offer is available until 31/12/2022 for both new and existing customers, and is compatible with all the other benefits of the Salary/Pension/Business/Non-Salary/Young Salary accounts. To keep the benefit you must meet the requirements of the Salary/Pension/Business/Non-Salary/Youth Salary account.
Source: Inteliens. A comparative survey of 20 financial institutions carried out at the beginning of March 2022 on the conditions and advantages associated with salary accounts concluded that the Bankinter salary account is the only one that offers two free accounts, for any purpose, associated with a main salary account with high remuneration (5% AER the 1st year and 2% AER the 2nd year) and without any fees. The sources of information were: the Inteliens competitor monitoring financial observatory (Individual Retail Banking), mails to managers and calls to financial institutions as a real customer and contacts through social media as a potential customer.

Show/Hide legal text2 Offer valid until 31.12.2022 for new and existing individual customers resident in Spain. To apply for a Salary/Pension/Business, customers must have their salary/pension/professional income paid into the account for a minimum amount of €800 per month and those payments must not be currently paid into another Bankinter account. Customers must not have been holders of a Salary/Pension/Business/Non-Salary/Youth Salary account in the 12 months before opening the account and may not have received any remuneration for any of these accounts. To open a Non-Salary account, none of the account holders may have held a Non-Salary/Salary/Pension/Business/Youth Salary account at any time in the 12 months before opening this account and they must not have received any remuneration or return on any such account in the past. Customers may only hold one interest-bearing account and a maximum of two bonus current accounts. For these purposes, a discount-bearing current account means a current account featuring special financial terms and conditions, such as credit cards with no issuance or maintenance fees, or no account maintenance fees. Maximum interest-bearing amount: €5,000. Year 1: nominal annual interest rate of 4.94% (5% AER). Year 2: nominal annual interest rate of 1.99% (2% AER). Interest paid every six months. Example for a daily balance in the Salary Account of €5,000, calculated for an interest payment period of 180 days (gross remuneration): 1st six months €121.81, 2nd six months €121.81, 3rd six months €49.07, 4th six months €49.07. To earn and retain all the benefits of our Salary/Business/Pension, you must maintain your declared level of income and pay at least three direct debits out of the account per quarter. The card linked to the account must also remain active, meaning that it must be used to make at least three payments each quarter. For the Pension Account, activation of the linked credit card is not required. For the Non-Salary account, you must pay at least 10 direct debits per quarter and spend at least €3,000 per year with the card(s) linked to the account.
