Although the market ceiling in February 2026 reaches 7% per annum, the fight for customer wallets takes place on many fronts. In our latest ranking, we took a closer look at not only interest rates, but also amount limits and promotion periods. The winner of the ranking won not by the highest stake, but by repeated presence at the top of each of the mini-rankings.

In February, to determine the market leader, we used not one, but three parameters that may be of interest to people planning to open a savings account. For this purpose, we selected the 10 accounts with the highest interest rates and for them we also checked the deposit limit covering the given rate and the period in which it is accrued. As a result of these analyses, three mini-rankings and one final ranking were created based on the positions taken in individual rankings. One banking brand may appear in the ranking once – with a savings account with a higher interest rate.
