If you are looking for interest on vested benefits accounts, we have to disappoint you. Our comparison at over 90 banks in january 2023 clearly shows that depositing pension fund assets in vested benefits accounts no longer yields interest.
Average interest rate is 0.10 %
The average interest rate is a negligible 0,094 %. The interest rate is therefore slightly lower than for 3a retirement savings accounts and significantly below the current BVG minimum interest rate.
According to an expert opinion commissioned by the Confederation, a negative interest rate on pure savings solutions for vested benefits is not permitted (expert opinion was prepared in French).
Fees come into focus
Because there is no longer an interest rate, the focus shifts towards the fees of vested benefits solutions. That is why we have now also listed the fees in Swiss Francs in the comparison table. The fees are only indicative and can vary depending on the conditions. For example, many banks have a rule that the WEF fee is lower if the mortgage is taken out with them.
