Overview
- Commerzbank is marketing a special rate on its instant‑access savings account that reaches 5% only if Germany wins the World Cup.
- To qualify, customers must open the account by June 10 with money posted by June 11, then earn 0.75% until July 19 and a success‑linked rate from July 20 to October 19.
- Rates rise with each stage of the tournament, starting around 1.954% for the round of 16 and topping out at 5.000% for a title win.
- The higher rate applies only to the first €50,000 per account, excludes funds held at Commerzbank or Comdirect in the prior six months, and any extra balance earns 0.75%.
- Market watchers note many banks guarantee about 3% for new customers, while SWK Bank’s fixed‑term deposits offer up to 2.8% with a €10,000 minimum and legal deposit protection.
