First I would like to specify that I don't work for Coop nor for Basler Kantonalbank.

Interest rates are at the best equal, sometimes lower, than regular Coop accounts.
Sorry
Rudi, but that's not true. Have a look at the interest page, and you will see that Bank Coop serves a better interest rate on the Supercard account. (0,75 % against 0,50 % for a classic "Sparkonto"). That's not THE big deal, but it's better than other saving bank accounts in Switzerland.

Sorry, but that's not true too. Supercard account is a saving account, so you can't do every transaction you want like on a "Privatkonto", but a bancomat card is included. Sure, not a Maestro card, but that's not the kind of account for. And there is no transaction fee.

Let's pray for a new 1:1 deal...
