Good to know
Multi-currency accounts are counted towards the 25 sub-accounts you can create with your Easy Money and Easy Green plans.
Funds can be withdrawn 2 times per calendar month for each currency.
You can only withdraw funds to another account in the same currency.
If you want to withdraw your funds from your Multi-Currency Savings account into Euros, you can do so by using the “Add Money” flow from your Euro sub-account. Keep in mind that this will count towards your withdrawal limit.
Interest can be earned on deposits up to $100,000 / £100,000.
A Multi-currency Savings Account can’t be converted into a Euro Savings Account. Keep an eye on our updates for further future details here.
