However, almost three quarters of Czech population still have their savings on current accounts, despite low interest rates on this type of account. In comparison, saving accounts, currently used by more than 40 % of Czech people offer much higher interests. For example the current ING saving campaign offers 2 % p. a. for six month for up to 300 000,- CZK newly deposited to the ING Konto every month.
