Hello everyone,
even though this doesn’t really fit here:
My mother-in-law was contacted by her Sparkasse that in the near future bank balances over €200k, later then over €100k, will be subject to a negative interest rate. Since this affects her, she is now going a bit crazy and is wondering how she could prevent this.
Am I right in my assumption that this is evaluated differently from bank to bank, with one charging the negative interest and the next not, and so on?
My suggestion would have been to simply work with additional accounts at other banks in order to avoid this problem.
Before the question arises why so much money is lying in the account: The money mostly comes from the sale of a property and it has not yet been decided what to do with it.
Thanks! Regards
