Penta launches new range of corporate term and overnight deposits with Raisin
Penta, the digital platform for business banking, introduces overnight and term deposits from WeltSparen in cooperation with the fintech Raisin. The two companies, Penta and Raisin, thus enable better interest rates on business accounts for Penta’s customers – now more than 22,000 small and medium-sized enterprises, freelancers and self-employed.
In the area of corporate banking, Germany leads with the lowest interest rates: According to current figures from the ECB, negative interest is incurred on business assets at an average of -0.34 percent per year. Due to the cooperation, companies can avoid negative interest rates and invest surplus liquidity at attractive interest rates and with deposit protection in Germany and Europe.
Through collaboration with WeltSparen, companies can close and centrally manage any number of investments with just one login. The terms of the company’s fixed-term deposits and overnight money offers range from daily availability to an investment horizon of a maximum of six years with an interest rate of up to 2.50 percent per year.
Deposits are already possible starting from a sum of 5,000 Euro and are protected up to at least 100,000 Euro per depositor and bank by the legal deposit insurance. With German banks, deposits are additionally protected by the Federal Association of German Banks.
Jessica Holzbach, Co-Founder and Chief Customer Officer of Penta: “Through the cooperation with Raisin, we are one of the few digital financial service providers for business that can offer its customers a very good alternative to high costs caused by negative interest rates, such as those that arise after financing rounds of young companies. This option, which has long been available to private customers, is now also accessible to business customers at Penta. It’s quick, easy and digital – just as they are used to from Penta.”
“Sophisticated liquidity management is more important than ever for companies to generate interest income. Through our cooperation, Penta creates solutions for more efficient liquidity management with very flexible options,”explains Lisa Schmid, Head of Business Clients at Raisin.
