Inbank, which has so far been focusing mainly on consumer credit, has already successfully used Raisin for the same purpose in Germany and Austria. The purpose of collecting deposits is to support Inbank's international financing activity and make it more flexible and efficient to raise capital.

Inbank's head of group product development Erkki Saarniit sayd Inbank is offering an annual interest rate of up to 1.40% on term deposits in the Dutch market, which is on par with the rates offered in Germany and Austria.

"As of the end of last year, our portfolio of deposits from customers in Germany and Austria was close to 150 mln euros, which shows that our offers are very attractive in other countries," Saarniit said .

In addition to collecting deposits in the Netherlands, in 2019, Inbank plans to start offering deposits through a bank branch to be opened in Lithuania. Inbank will continue accepting deposits in Estonia.
