Intro
monobank's 6-8 month deposit is for those planning to save toward something specific within half a year to eight months: a renovation, a big purchase, a trip, or simply keeping a “safety cushion” with access not too far off. This is a shorter horizon compared to the 9-11 month or two-year deposits in the same lineup, so the rate here is a bit more modest.
monobank is a neobank with no physical branches, and all deposit actions, from opening to tracking the term, are done through the mobile app. For those used to managing finances by phone, this is a convenient extra argument for choosing this particular deposit.
Interest rate
The hryvnia deposit rate is 15.7% annually. This is lower than the longer terms in this lineup (15.9% for 9-11 months and 16% for 12-24 months), but still a competitive rate for short-term placement.
Currency rates are substantially lower: 1.2% annually in US dollars and 0.5% annually in euros. The trend matches the rest of monobank's deposit lineup: the shorter the term, the lower both the hryvnia and currency rates, and the currency options are essentially meant more for preserving a foreign-currency sum than for earning meaningful income.
Terms and fees
The placement term is 6 to 8 months depending on the period chosen at opening. The exact minimum deposit isn't fixed as a single figure on the bank's site and depends on the currency and terms at the time, so check the current minimum in the monobank app before opening.
The deposit can be topped up from a monobank card, by bank transfer from another bank, or in cash at partner branches, with the bank compensating possible costs related to transferring funds into the deposit.
Since the term is fixed, early closure usually results in losing part or all of the interest accrued up to that point. Exact early-withdrawal terms should be confirmed in the app or with support before opening.
Like individual deposits at most Ukrainian banks, funds in this deposit are covered by the Deposit Guarantee Fund for individuals. It's better to check the exact guaranteed amount on the Fund's site or directly in the bank's app, since the legal limit is periodically revised.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Competitive hryvnia rate for a short term — 15.7% annually
- Moderately short term (6-8 months) — money comes back sooner than the lineup's longer deposits
- Remote setup with no branch visit
- Available in three currencies — UAH, USD, EUR
Cons:
- Rate is lower than longer terms in the same lineup
- Foreign-currency rates (USD, EUR) are low and poorly suited for earning
- Minimum deposit amount isn't explicitly stated on the site
- Early withdrawal likely reduces the accrued interest amount
Summary
monobank's 6-8 month deposit suits those wanting to place hryvnia funds toward a medium-term goal without locking the sum away for too long. The 15.7% annual hryvnia rate remains competitive, though slightly lower than longer deposits in the same lineup, and the currency options here are more about preserving savings than earning income. Before opening, confirm the exact minimum amount and early-termination terms in the app if there's a risk funds might be needed earlier. If an even shorter term is needed, or funds can be placed longer for a higher rate, compare other deposits in the same lineup — 3-5, 9-11, or 12-24 months.
