Bank bonds (fixed-interest bonds)
Product overview - What are bank bonds?
Bank bonds are fixed-interest securities with which investors provide a bank with capital.
They are issued directly by banks or via institutional issuers.
Typical features:
– Regular interest payments (fixed or variable)
– Repayment of the invested capital on the contractually agreed maturity date
Term (maturity)
Bank bonds have clearly defined maturities. Periods of between 1 and 30 years are common.
Frequently chosen maturities are 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 years. Short-term bonds can be less than one year, while long-term models can last up to several decades.
If the bond is held until maturity, the capital invested is generally repaid in full – provided that the issuer meets its obligations.
Many bank bonds can be traded on the secondary market. This makes it possible to sell before maturity, although market price fluctuations must be taken into account.

Terms & Fees
Our bank bonds are based on clearly documented and transparent contractual conditions. These include the interest rate, term, payment frequency and possible arrangements for early termination or sale.
All relevant costs are communicated openly so that you can make an informed investment decision.
Suitability & Risks
Bank bonds are particularly suitable for investors who prefer regular income and predictable cash flows.
Like any capital investment, bank bonds are also associated with risks, including:
