Everything that changes for your savings on January 1, 2025

With the ECB's interest rates falling, the trend is also downward for the yield on your savings account. A phenomenon amplified by the limitation of the loyalty bonus.

From January 1, 2025, the loyalty bonus on your savings account can no longer exceed 1.7%. Indeed, this rate cannot exceed 50% of the maximum authorized base rate. However, in mid-December, the ECB lowered its rates for the 4th consecutive time, bringing the bank refinancing rate to 3.40%.

This means that many savings accounts will see their loyalty bonus drop. Some banks add a reduction in the base rate. Let's take a look, bank by bank:
