Why the best fixed-term deposits are no longer at your usual bank

Spain's largest banks (BBVA, Santander, CaixaBank) offer between 0.10% and 1.10% APY on fixed-term deposits — with conditions attached. Meanwhile, European banks accessible from Spain via platforms like Raisin offer up to 2.56% APY with no strings attached.

The difference is structural: large banks fund themselves in wholesale markets and don't need retail deposits. Specialist deposit banks do need them, and compete by offering better rates.

EU deposit guarantee: all the same protection

All EU member states are required to guarantee €100,000 per depositor per institution under the European Deposit Guarantee Schemes Directive (DGSD). A deposit at Bigbank (Estonia) or Klarna Bank (Sweden) has exactly the same legal protection as one at a Spanish bank.

How to open a European deposit from Spain

  1. Choose a platform: Raisin is the main marketplace in Spain. Free registration, 100% online.
  2. Verify your identity: KYC online (ID + selfie), 10–15 minutes.
  3. Choose your deposit: filter by term, APY and issuing bank.
  4. Transfer funds: from your bank account to Raisin, which forwards to the issuing bank.
  5. At maturity: capital + interest returns to your account. No automatic tax withholding — declare in your annual tax return.

Frequently asked questions
Which fixed-term deposit pays the most in 2026?
In 2026, Klarna Bank via Raisin leads with 2.56% APY at 2 years. At 12 months, Bigbank offers 2.50% APY with no minimum deposit. Banca Progetto via Raisin offers 2.45% at 6 months from €1.
Can I open European bank deposits from Spain?
Yes. Through platforms like Raisin you can open deposits with European banks (Estonia, Sweden, Italy, Lithuania) with the same DGS guarantee level as Spanish banks. The process is 100% online.
What happens if I need the money before maturity?
Most fixed-term deposits do not allow early withdrawal or result in full loss of interest. If you need liquidity, consider an instant-access savings account (e.g. Bigbank 2.40%, available immediately).
How much tax do I pay on interest?
Interest is taxed at a minimum of 19% as capital income. Spanish banks automatically withhold 19%. European banks via Raisin do not withhold — you must declare the full amount in your annual tax return.
