The app is intuitive and easy to use

The app is intuitive and easy to use. It really takes little time to start using. Maybe some more hits could be useful regarding different tax regimes and difference of the documents in them. But overall I am very happy that I am using this app. I saw a competitive app that my friend uses and Finom is definitely simplier and easier to use

Advertised 5% – got 0.75% instead

I opened a Finom account specifically because of the prominently advertised 5% p.a. for 5 months interest offer. After completing the onboarding, my account only showed 0.75% p.a. I contacted support and initially received multiple contradictory explanations. Only after repeated follow-up was I told that the 5% offer only applies to selected eligible customers and cannot be applied to my account. The main issue is not the interest rate itself, but the lack of transparency before account opening. If an advertised promotion does not apply to all new customers, this should be made clear upfront and individually before onboarding. Very disappointing first experience. UPDATE: Initial onboarding experience was frustrating due to unclear communication around the advertised 5% interest promotion. My account first showed only 0.75%, and support responses were inconsistent. However, after escalation, Finom contacted me directly, reviewed the case, applied the 5% promotional rate until 16.09.2026, and also offered a goodwill gesture. So while the first impression was poor, I appreciate that they ultimately took ownership and resolved the issue professionally. I hope transparency around promotional eligibility will improve going forward.

It's easy open the account end register…

It's easy open the account end register all the documents. It need time for all the notar document. Good
