Frequent questions

What conditions must be met for me to receive a bonus on my savings?

From the moment you open a BCGE Epargne account, you can earn 0.25% to 2% additional interest on your savings thanks to the following bonuses:

  • +0.5% interest on your savings: +0.25% if you make a net deposit into your BCGE Epargne account during the calendar year and an additional 0.25% interest if you hold an Epargne 3 account (minimum value CHF 10,000) or a minimum of 100 Synchrony fund units (CH). The eligible Synchrony funds are :

I hold an Epargne 3 account worth more than CHF 10,000 or more than 100 Synchrony fund units but I have not made a net deposit into my BCGE Epargne account: will I receive my bonus?
+

No, to receive the bonus granted to holders of an Epargne 3 account or Synchrony fund units, you must always make a net deposit of CHF 1 into your BCGE Epargne account. This means that your annual net inflows are higher than your net outflows by at least CHF 1 (excluding interest and bonus payments as at 31 December). The minimum deposit must be made before 26 December each year.

Does the date of subscription to the various Avantage service conditions influence the payment of my bonus?
+

Yes. Subscription to an Epargne 3 account, Synchrony fund units, BCGE shares, a Best of management mandate and a mortgage loan must be made before 29 June of the current year in order to qualify for the bonus.

I hold two Epargne 3 accounts, both of which have a balance of CHF 5,000 each. Am I entitled to a bonus?
+

No. To receive a bonus, the Epargne 3 account must have a balance of at least CHF 10,000. A one-time transfer is sufficient.

Quelles sont les plafonds sur lesquels la rémunération du bonus d’intérêt est calculé ?
+

The basis of calculation is the cumulative total of the account balances and is capped as follows: 

  • if one bonus is granted, the maximum limit for calculating the remuneration is CHF 15,000 in total;
  • if two bonuses are granted, the maximum limit for calculating the remuneration is CHF 30,000 in total;
  • if three bonuses are granted, the maximum limit for calculating the remuneration is CHF 150,000 in total;
  • if four bonuses are granted, the maximum limit for calculating the remuneration is CHF 300 000 in total.
