“However, it is important to compare interest rates before making an investment decision. Anyone who simply invests their money at their house bank usually receives significantly less interest. Especially at the regional savings banks and Volksbanks, the average interest rate is still significantly below the current inflation rate of 3.2 percent. The money invested therefore loses value.”
