6. Radical pricing model: 60% cheaper than com­parable securities savings offers 

Low costs are important in order to achieve high returns. Our current all-in fee of 0.45% on account and securities balances is half the price of comparable securities savings offers (source: moneyland.ch). This has been confirmed by the independent Swiss online comparison service moneyland.ch.

7. Sustainable retirement products

Swisscanto investment products play a pioneering role in sustainable investing. frankly backs this strategy too. All active Swisscanto investment products in frankly follow a responsible approach with a wide range of criteria (CO2 reduction goal in accordance with the Paris Agreement, systematic analysis of ESG criteria, i.e. inclusion of environmental, social and governance aspects in investment decisions, exclusions).

8. Easy transfer

Make the most of your pillar 3 with the frankly app. Even if you’ve already got pillar 3a accounts with other providers, you can easily transfer them to frankly. We will pay the transfer costs for you. We will pay any costs you incur for selling your existing securities or for closing your account (this applies to all savings contracts with bank foundations).

9. Our Community discount

You’re not alone. The more customers who use frankly, the cheaper the all-in fee becomes for everyone. In the meantime we have already reached the third discount level of CHF 1000 million, and with the more people who use it frankly will get even cheaper. You can see how far away we are from the next threshold in the app.
