Savings Strategies
Our savings strategies are perfect if you are looking for an automated savings plan tailored to your return expectations and risk tolerance. Repayments and returns are automatically reinvested as long as you keep your strategy active, allowing you to benefit from the compound interest effect.
We make it easy to save with interest. Inspired by the business models of major banks, we’ve created interest-based savings where you lend money to businesses and individuals and earn returns in the form of interest. You can choose between two different savings strategies: Balanced and Yield. Both strategies involve investing your money in a wide range of credit types, providing good diversification and high stability. For over a decade, we’ve helped thousands of Swedes achieve long-term, sustainable savings.
Recommended savings horizon: 12–36 months with an annual target return of 6.5–7.5%
High liquidity and stable returns
Low risk
Free secondary market (SEK 50,000/year after 12 months)
The Balanced strategy is suitable for investors looking for stable returns and high liquidity. By choosing the Balanced strategy, your capital is invested in a wide range of credits with low credit loss risk and high cash flow.
Typically, you will receive interest payments monthly or quarterly. This strategy is also suitable for those who want the option to withdraw invested funds if necessary—after each 12-month period, you have the right to sell investments up to SEK 50,000 without any fees.
Recommended savings horizon: 36+ months with an annual target return of 8–10%
Higher returns
Medium risk
Perfect complement to the stock market
The Yield strategy is suitable for investors seeking higher returns over time.
By choosing the Yield strategy, your capital is invested in a wide range of credits with expected higher returns, some volatility, and varying cash flow (monthly, quarterly, annually, or longer). The higher annual target return is based on a savings horizon of 36 months or longer.
There is a close relationship between risk and return. To feel confident with your savings, it’s important to understand the risks involved and how to minimize them. This also applies to the investments you make with us at SaveLend.
That’s why we’ve gathered both general risks and risks specific to investments at SaveLend on one page. There, you can learn more about how risks can be managed and diversified to your advantage, allowing you to save money in a safer way.
Once you’ve created a SaveLend account, you can easily deposit funds by making either a one-time deposit or starting a monthly savings plan. You can withdraw uninvested funds from your SaveLend account at any time.
Your invested capital is repaid continuously from the respective loans. You can also release capital early by selling your investments on our secondary market. You can always choose whether to reinvest your returns or transfer them to your bank account.
Here are some of the most common questions and concerns about our savings strategies. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact us via chat, email, or phone.
A depot at the SaveLend platform is a place where you can store and manage your financial assets. A depot is automatically created for each selected strategy. The number of depots in the SaveLend account is not limited. Available currencies for depots with us are SEK and EUR.
We all have different possibilities and goals regarding our savings and our investments. Therefore, "correctly set up” depends entirely on your own choice. As long as you have chosen and activated the right strategy for you, have approved all the terms and conditions, filled in the KYC (Know Your Customer) information, and made your first deposit – then we guarantee that you are on the right track!
You can easily see the instructions on how to transfer capital to your SaveLend account by logging in, navigating to "Transfers" followed by deposits and clicking on "Make a deposit".
You can choose between transferring your money directly with the help of Swish, Trustly, or by making a regular bank transfer.
To make a deposit, click on the "Make a deposit" button in the "Deposits" section or in the upper right corner of the platform and choose the method that suits you best:
Swish
Via Swish, your money arrives immediately. The regulations for the maximum amount and how much it’s possible to swish vary from bank to bank. Log into your internet or mobile bank to see and change your settings.
Instant Bank payment via Trustly
Direct transfer via Trustly takes between 15 min and 1 banking day. It is an open banking payment method that allows customers to shop and pay from their bank account online, without using a card or app.
Bank transfer
Bank transfers can take up to 1–2 days. Transfers must be made from a bank account that you own.
You can easily request withdrawals on uninvested capital by logging into your account, navigating to "Transfers" and then "Withdrawals". Click on "Make a withdrawal" then follow the instructions.
If you want to withdraw capital that is invested, you can sell your investments on the secondary market, which you will find under "Holdings" -> "Investments". Remember that sales on the secondary market include a fee except for special conditions for the Balanced savings strategy. Here, you have the right to sell investments up to a total of SEK 50,000 free of charge after every twelve months.
Save a selected amount that is withdrawn via direct debit every month. You can also have several monthly savings divided into different depots, accounts in which you have your investments. Select:
What amount do you want to save each month;
Which day of the month the money should be withdrawn from your bank account;
Which SaveLend depot do you want to save monthly in.

It varies from case to case, depending on the loan type and/or lending company. For example, for consumer loans via the lending company SBL Finance, it is common to only be exposed to one investment per borrower, but for factoring from the same lending company, the same borrowing company can use the service several times. In general, it depends on the underlying securities of each specific loan.
"Refer-a-friend" means that you as an investor can invite a friend, and both can then earn up to SEK 10,000 or EUR 1,000 in bonus.
To get the bonus, your friend needs to create an account via an exclusive referral link that you receive with your account (you can find the link in the section “My account” → “My bonuses”)
and then invest at least SEK 5,000 or EUR 500 within 30 days. The bonus is then paid out within 3 working days to both you and the invited friend.
"Refer-a-friend" only applies if you invite someone who starts investing in the strategies or projects. You do not receive a bonus when you invite someone who chooses to invest in a Fixed Interest Account.
The bonus ladder is as follows:
SEK 5,000 or more gives a bonus of SEK 200
SEK 10,000 or more gives a bonus of SEK 400
SEK 20,000 or more gives a bonus of SEK 600
SEK 100,000 or more gives a bonus of SEK 1,000
SEK 500,000 or more gives a bonus of SEK 5,000
SEK 1,000,000 or more gives a bonus of SEK 10,000
You can use your referral link an unlimited number of times.
The bonus is paid for both SEK- and EUR-accounts. You can easily see paid bonuses and the number of invited friends on your account in the same section:
If you, who referred a friend, only invest in SaveLend Fixed, the bonus will be paid out to your Transfer depot.
