Comments to the reduction of the rate of interest on saving accounts
Rates of interest on saving accounts and term deposits are decreasing in the long term, but on the other hand bank loans are cheaper.
One of the reasons is the long-term decreasing of interbanking rates.

and low inflation. Link here http://www.cnb.cz/cs/menova_politika/prognoza/index.html
Most of the Czech banks have less rate of interest on term deposits than on saving accounts.

It is good to think about how to allocate our financial reserves. We reccomend to leave a part of the savings, such as 3-month reserve, on your saving accounts. It is also smart to save your financial reserves on a term deposit with a higher profit. For example, J&T Bank has the rate of interest for the term deposit up to 2.6% and there is a guarantee by the Czech government (Fond pojištění vkladů). J&T Bank is one of our partners.
In the longer term, it is advisable to invest regularly or irregularly in mutual funds (stocks, bonds).
