The alternative to the best term deposits

Withdrawals are instant for amounts up to €500,000 per day and are processed every business day at 10:30 AM CET. If you request a withdrawal before 10:30 AM on a business day, your funds will be credited to your account on the same day. Requests made after 10:30 AM or on non-business days will be processed on the next business day. There are no withdrawal limits.

The Spiko Money Market Funds exclusively invest in Treasury Bills issued and guaranteed by top-tier countries like the United States, France, and Germany. While your capital is at risk if any of these countries default on their short-term debt, a sovereign guarantee is stronger than a bank's capital guarantee, as banks are more likely to fail than governments. This is why most large companies and institutions prefer parking their cash in Treasury Bills rather than term deposits. To learn more, read our article on capital guarantees.

The only fee for using Spiko is a 0.25% annual management fee on your deposited funds, deducted daily on a prorated basis. The interest you see each day is always shown after this fee has been deducted. You have no fees associated with having an account open at Spiko. You also have no transaction fees on your deposits and withdrawals. Finally, you also have no custody fees.

Absolutely! You can create an account and start using Spiko right away. If you own a company, you can manage personal and business accounts from a single interface. Each account remains separate, so funds cannot be mixed.

First and foremost, you have no financial exposure to Spiko’s insolvency, as your funds are never on Spiko’s balance sheet. When you deposit funds, they are transferred directly from your checking account to the depositary bank. Likewise, withdrawals are sent straight from the depositary bank to your designated bank account. The account must be in your name, as Spiko cannot be used as a payment method.

That said, Spiko’s insolvency could affect you operationally, as the platform might no longer be available for placing withdrawal orders, for example. Fortunately, Spiko’s products are regulated and supervised by the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF), and their operation does not depend on the distributor. In practice, you can always place your withdrawal orders through the management company by phone or email.
