What is a non-regulated savings account?

A non-regulated savings account is a savings account that does not fall under the regulations of a regulated savings account. It means that there is no

obligation to split the interest rate in a base rate and a fidelity premium and the currency does not have to be necessarily in Euro. Interest is paid annually.

That also means, however, that the account is not exempt from withholding tax on the first €980 of interest. The applicable withholding tax is 30% and applies to the full amount of interest paid. Term deposit accounts also fall under the regulations of the ‘non-regulated savings account’.

Although these accounts are not regulated, they are still eligible under the Maltese Depositor Compensation Scheme up to a maximum of €100.000 per person.

you want to receive your payments during the application process.
