We regularly monitor and compare the Interest Rates on Savings Accounts in Ireland. We check the highest interest rates on instant access deposits as well as regular savings accounts and fixed-rate deposits.
The interest rates on deposit accounts in 2020 are still very low. As a general rule, you’ll usually get slightly better interest rates if you tie your money up for longer.
Note: DIRT (Deposit Interest Retention Tax) decreased from 35% to 33% from January 1st 2020 – so that will mean slightly more interest for savers. More details of DIRT here

You could also earn a bit more interest with a regular savings account or a fixed-term deposit. But remember, with a fixed term account you may not be able to access your money immediately (or even not until the end of the term) – and there could be a hefty withdrawal fee.

Whilst we strive to maintain the rates and update them when changes occur – customers should double-check with the financial institutions for confirmation of current rates.
