How interest on the savings account works

You get 2.35% variable interest on the entire amount in the account. Interest is calculated continuously based on your balance and credited annually. Since the interest rate is variable, it can go both up and down over time. You can always see the current interest rate in the Sambla app.

How much interest will I earn?

If you have SEK 100,000 in the account for a full year and the interest rate stays at 2.35%, you'll earn SEK 2,350 in interest before tax. If you deposit or withdraw money during the year, it will affect how much interest you earn.

 

Balance over one yearInterest before tax
SEK 25,000SEK 587.50
SEK 50,000SEK 1,175
SEK 100,000SEK 2,350

These examples assume both the balance and the interest rate remain unchanged throughout the year.

 

What is the Sambla Savings Account good for?

The Sambla Savings Account is suited for money you want to save safely while still being able to access it when needed. Since the account has no lock-in period and offers free withdrawals, it can be used both as a financial buffer and for planned expenses further ahead.

Buffer savings

A buffer can help you manage unexpected expenses, for example if your car breaks down or an unusually high bill turns up. In a savings account with free withdrawals, your money can earn interest while still being available whenever you need to use it.

Saving toward a specific goal

The account can also be used when you're saving for things like a trip, a renovation, or a larger purchase. You decide how much and how often you want to deposit, since there's no minimum deposit amount.

Your savings account is covered by the state deposit guarantee

The money in the Sambla Savings Account is covered by the state deposit guarantee up to SEK 1,150,000 per person and institution. The guarantee means you can receive compensation if the institution is unable to repay the money in your account.

The limit applies to your total savings held with the same institution. You can read more about how the protection works on our page about the state deposit guarantee.
