Savings account

Save easily for your goals

The savings account is ideal for saving money securely and flexibly – whether for holidays, a car, residential property or other objectives.

  • wish to save flexibly and securely in CHF or EUR

    • wish to set money aside for personal goals, such as holidays or major purchases
  • are looking for a savings account that can be integrated into your everyday life and combined with other PostFinance services

  • wish to use digital tools for financial planning, transparency and control
