Debit Cards

  • In which cases can card internet purchases be declined?

    Since January 1, merchants are required to provide secure internet shopping. Otherwise, the transaction can be declined. The requirements apply to all European merchants and card issuers. The changes are aimed at making online shopping even more secure for customers - reducing the fraud risks, ensuring the confidentiality of the user data.

    Since some online stores may not be able to prepare properly, in order to avoid inconvenience for customers who pay with a card online, Lithuania has a transitional period of 3 months. This means that in January customer card transactions in online stores will not be rejected if they do not exceed 500 EUR, in February - 250 EUR, in March - 100 EUR. Exceeding these limits, and from April - regardless of the amount, online card purchase may fail if the online store is not ready to request payment with strong customer authentication.

  • What should I do if my purchase is declined?
    If a transaction has been declined because the merchant is not compliant with the PSD2 and other legal requirements, the bank can’t help the transaction to go through successfully in any way. In such a case, only the retailer itself can provide information to customers about other payment options if there are any. We urge to always make sure that the internet shop and the retailer are safe!
  • To which countries do the PSD2 requirements apply?
    The PSD2 legislation applies to all countries within the European Economic Area.
  • Will this requirement apply to online stores registered in the USA, China or UK?
    No, the PSD2 requirements are only binding for the merchants registered in the EU and EEA. However, bear in mind that many large stores and shopping platforms have subsidiaries registered in the EU.
  • How can I check weather a transaction will be successful in the particular internet shop?

    One of the options is to look for the Secure Shopping logotype on the merchant’s website.

    However, keep in mind that a transaction can also be successful in situations when merchant’s website doesn’t have such a logotype. You can also check if the merchant provides other payment methods. We urge to always make sure that the internet shop and the retailer are safe!

  • What exactly are those new requirements?
    The PSD2 directive expands the range of cases when internet (online) purchase must be strongly authenticated (using Smart-ID, biometrics, PIN generator, mobile-ID or ID-card) and at the same time sets exceptions when the strong authentication may be not applied.
  • Are these changes applicable only for private cards or corporate ones too?
    They are applicable for all cards, both private and corporate.
  • Validity of the card is expiring, what should be done in order to obtain a new card?

  • What is variable interest?

    The name 'variable interest rate' refers to the fact that it varies from time to time, going up or down, depending on the economic situation of a country or the situation on the financial markets. Variable interest rates vary according to the index to which they are linked. In Lithuania, for example, interest rates are linked to EURIBOR.

    In Lithuania, the variable interest rate is composed of the EURIBOR index and a margin, the latter being agreed between the client and the bank when concluding the mortgage contract. The size of the margin usually reflects the borrower’s risk – the higher the risk, the higher the margin. The margin remains unchanged throughout the life of the credit agreement in the absence of material breaches of the credit agreement.

    The other part of the variable interest rate, EURIBOR, is the interbank rate, which depends on the base rate set by the European Central Bank (ECB). If the ECB starts to increase interest rates, then EURIBOR increases and, consequently, the monthly mortgage interest paid by people who borrow at variable rates increases. If EURIBOR is negative, it is considered to be zero.

  • Why are my mortgage repayments changing/increasing?

    In cases where the interest rate of the mortgage contract is variable, the monthly repayments will also change depending on the change in the interest base (EURIBOR).

    The variable interest consists of the EURIBOR base plus a margin, the amount of which is agreed between the client and the bank at the time of concluding the mortgage contract. The margin remains unchanged throughout the life of the credit agreement in the absence of material breaches of the credit agreement.

    The EURIBOR interest rate is the European Interbank Offered Rate expressed as an annual interest rate and this interest rate changes every 3/6/12 months, so the total amount of interest you pay may decrease or increase depending on the change in the Interest Rate Base (new loans are only granted with a 6-month floating interest component).

    The volatility of this interest during certain periods may also increase the interest payments you pay to the bank each month due to the increase in the floating part.

  • How will the interest on my loan change in the future?

    The margin set by the bank remains unchanged throughout the life of the credit agreement, in the absence of material breaches of the credit agreement. However, the total interest on the loan may change depending on changes in the EURIBOR variable interest rate, which is not set by the Bank. This indicator is calculated by the European Banking Federation on the basis of interest rates published by its sample of the most active interbank market participants.

  • Where can I find information on the interest rates and repayments I am charged?

    Variable interest rates consist of EURIBOR and a margin. The amount of the margin and the total interest rate, including information on the next EURIBOR base change date and its volatility period, are set out in the mortgage loan agreement. The terms and conditions of the loan agreement and the payment schedule can be viewed by logging on to the Bank's website.

    In the event of additional changes in the EURIBOR interest rate, the Bank shall inform each client individually of the change in the interest rate, together with the instalment schedule for the next payment period. This information is provided by means of a message from the Internet Bank or by sending a letter by post.

  • Why and how do interest rates change?

    EURIBOR is the base rate set by the European Central Bank (ECB) and is the rate to which variable interest is linked. This means that when the ECB starts to raise interest rates, EURIBOR increases and, consequently, the monthly interest paid by those people who have borrowed at variable rates increase. Conversely, if the ECB lowers interest rates, interest rates fall. As a result of the ECB's negative interest rate policy, EURIBOR has been negative since 2014, so the residential part of EURIBOR has been set at zero.

    Only the EURIBOR component changes over the life of the loan agreement. This rate is usually recalculated every 3, 6 or 12 months. As often as EURIBOR is recalculated, the interest rate on the loan also changes. For example, if the loan is at 6-month EURIBOR, this means that the customer will be re-priced twice a year. Whatever the EURIBOR is on that day, it will remain the same for the next six months until the next recalculation.

  • The ECB has not yet raised base rates, but the EURIBOR base is already rising. Why?
    EURIBOR is not set in Lithuania. The EURIBOR base is set by the major commercial banks in the euro area and reflects the price at which the major banks borrow among themselves. A rising EURIBOR base means that the market is already reflecting the ECB's base rate hike expectations, which is why EURIBOR has come out of negative territory for the first time in seven years.
  • Where can I find information on historical EURIBOR rates?
    Information on historical Euribor rates can be found here: Euribor chart - graphs with historical Euribor rates (euribor-rates.eu)
  • What is fixed interest?

    In the past, the market practice was to refer to fixed interest as interest that changes less frequently than every 12 months. However, according to the "Law on Real Estate Credit", which came into force on 1 July 2017, we can only refer to fixed interest as interest that does not change for the entire duration of the loan, and it is practically non-existent in the loan market in our country.

    For customers who wish to have interest rates that fluctuate less than 12 months, banks usually offer interest rates fixed for a period of 5 years.

  • What can the bank offer if the customer wants fixed instalments?

    Understanding our customers' desire for fixed instalments, we offer our customers a fixed-premium annuity repayment method. The fixed instalment annuity method is a repayment method where the repayment schedule is based on the annuity method, but with a fixed instalment consisting of the amount of interest payable for the previous month and the loan amount.

    As interest rates change, the maturity of the loan agreement changes (lengthens/shortens), but not beyond the fixed maturity of the loan agreement, and the monthly payment to the bank remains fixed. The customer's fixed monthly payment can only increase when the interest rate increases and the loan agreement reaches the maximum term of the loan agreement and the fixed payment is insufficient to repay the loan and make interest payments. If the interest rate decreases, the customer's monthly instalment up to the amount of the fixed instalment will decrease accordingly.

    It is also important to accumulate in the fund according to your age throughout the entire accumulation period, which is ensured by the Life Cycle Pension Funds. In these funds, the investments are dynamically changed according to the age of the participants for whom the fund is intended. When the fund’s participants are younger, more investments are made in stock markets in order to generate higher return on investments. When the retirement age of the fund’s participants is approaching, the proportion of shares (and risk) in the fund is gradually reduced and the proportion of bonds and other safer investment instruments (deposits, cash) is increased in order to protect the accumulated funds.

    You just have to select the fund once according to your year of birth and accumulate in one fund throughout the entire accumulation period. This way you are protected from choosing too risky or too conservative accumulation.

  • Is it possible to draw on a part of the accumulated funds without terminating the agreement?
    No, you cannot terminate a 2nd Pillar Pension Agreement. It is also not possible to withdraw part of the accumulated funds without terminating the agreement. Participants the 2nd Pillar Pension Funds only become entitled to receive a pension benefit once they have reached the retirement pension age or once they have been awarded an early retirement pension in accordance with the Law on Social Insurance Pensions.
  • Is it possible to terminate the accumulation of pensions before reaching the pensionable age?

    No, early termination of the Pillar II pension agreement and withdrawal of the accumulated amount is not possible. The Pillar II pension funds’ participants become eligible to receive the pension benefit when the retirement age is reached or when an early social insurance retirement pension is granted according to the Law on Social Insurance Pensions.

    Exception: a participant has the right to terminate unilaterally the pension accumulation agreement concluded for the first time having notifies the pension accumulation company in writing within 30 days after the conclusion of the agreement.

  • Why has the amount accumulated in my pension account reduced?

    There may be several reasons for that – the unit value change is influenced by financial market fluctuations, regularly/not regularly transferred contributions, the selected fund in which you accumulate.

    Financial markets fluctuate continuously, with unit values rising and falling, affecting the amount accumulated. A lower unit price will result in more units being acquired from the amount transferred to your pension fund account. Fluctuations in the value of the units with 30, 25 or 20 years left on the agreement are even advantageous, as more units are acquired. In a periodic and long-term investment, such as 2nd pension funds, the fluctuations in the value of the units are smoothed out when the contributions to the 2nd pillar pension funds are made periodically, on a monthly basis, and the units are acquired at a price that is lower or higher.

    It is important to accumulate in the fund according to the year of birth, and taking on higher risks in a younger age is useful. The accumulated amount also depends on the regularity of transferred contributions. If you were temporarily unemployed, contributions were not transferred to your personal pension fund account and, therefore, the accumulated amount was not increased. When you are employed again, contributions will be automatically transferred to your personal pension fund account.

    The life-cycle strategy based pension funds help balance investment risk better – the proportion of shares in the funds and the investment risk is gradually reduced taking account of your age.

    The accumulated funds are invested, therefore, it is likely that you will receive investment return and your savings will be larger than contributions.

  • Are the amounts accumulated in the pension fund inherited?
    Yes, after the participant’s death the share of the pension fund’s assets owned by the participant is inherited in accordance with the procedure established by the Civil Code of the Republic of Lithuania.

Processing of Personal Data

We are constantly striving to improve the quality of our customer service so that our customers receive only the banking services that best meet their expectations. For this reason, from June 2021, we will start asking for customers’ consents to provide them with even more personalised offers, personalised loan and insurance limits, and offers developed together with partners. Thus, we seek to take note of growing expectations of our customers to receive information that is relevant to them, while at the same time ensuring the proper processing of personal data. We believe that the opportunity to choose whether to give consent provides an appropriate basis for the processing of personal data and gives the customer full control over his / her personal data.

This may happen for several reasons:

  • We need to provide you with information relating to your service contract. Such communications are sent in the context of service agreements with you – you receive this information regardless of any consents or permissions you may have given, and it is necessary to enable us to fulfil our contractual obligations.
  • We conduct customer surveys and provide other relevant information (based on legitimate interest), not only via the internet bank or mobile app, but also via email if you have consented to receive information via this channel. We are grateful for your feedback on our services and believe that you may find Swedbank news relevant. To stop receiving offers and other emails from us that are not related to existing service contracts, you can unsubscribe in section “Processing of Personal Data” by clicking “Consents and permissions management”, which will refer you to the portal of consents.

Your consents may be managed by logging in to your internet bank account by clicking “Consents and permissions management” under “Processing of Personal Data” which will refer you to the portal of consents.

Swedbank Group companies in Lithuania work together to offer you the best deals at the most appropriate time. In order to prepare an offer that meets your needs, your personal data may be transferred from one Swedbank Group company to another, but only if you have given your consent to the data processing, which we use for the preparation of offers to you (Personalised offers, Personalised financing and insurance limits, Offers together with partners).

Although personal data are transferred between Swedbank Group companies operating in Lithuania, the Data Controller is responsible for the processing of such personal data, i.e., the legal entity or entities with which you have entered into service provision contracts or whose services are offered to you, e.g., Swedbank Lizingas UAB, the Lithuanian branch of Swedbank Life Insurance SE, Swedbank Investicijų Valdymas UAB, the Lithuanian branch of Swedbank P&C Insurance AS UAB. Companies of Swedbank Group have transferred the preparation of personalised offers to Swedbank, AB.

To ensure that you continue to receive offers and other relevant information until 31 July 2022, we will once in a while ask customers to provide their preferences regarding the processing of personal data for marketing purposes. Once you have provided the consent you will keep receiving offers and we will be able to continuously improve them.

  • If you decide to not give the consent (for Personalised offers / Personalised finance and insurance limits and Offers together with partners), within 5 days we will stop using your personal data for the purpose of preparing personalised offers, Offers together with partners and for the calculation of loan limits or insurance amounts and premiums. This means that you will no longer see your personalised offers in your internet bank and mobile app, nor will you receive them through other channels.
  • If you do not object to receiving relevant information via your preferred methods of delivery, such as by e-mail, you will continue to receive newsletters covering relevant news, greetings and invitations to participate in customer surveys.
  • If by 31 July 2022 you shall not give the consent to our processing of your personal data, we will stop processing your personal data for the above purposes from 1 August 2022. You can update your preferences regarding the processing of your personal data at any time in the internet bank or visiting the bank.

Having analysed personal data, we can offer personalised and relevant recommendations to each customer that best suit their situation and needs. Here are some examples:

  • We observe everyday banking services used by the customer and remind him/her of those that they don’t use but which may be useful to them.
  • We process information about a customer’s income, savings, age, etc. to ensure that the choices he/she makes enhance his/her financial well-being and meet his/her financial needs, avoiding situations where the choices made could lead to additional costs or restrict their access to money in an unexpected emergency.
  • We analyse, what type of our products or services the customer uses and compare them with those of similar profile customers and suggest other options for consideration.
  • We also observe which products or services customers have stopped using and, based on this, we remind customers of the benefits of the product or service, or offer alternative services, or offer to extend the use of the product.
  • We assess whether the customer meets the minimum conditions for the service, such as eligibility for a loan (checking age, credit history, income level, liabilities), or what the insurance quote might be (analysing the customer’s age, or whether they are participating in customer programmes and therefore may be able to get special offers on service rates).

You may withdraw your consent at any time at the Internet bank, at bank branches or by calling the Information centre. In this case, within 5 days Swedbank will stop processing your personal data for the purpose for which you withdrew your consent.

These include various offers and discounts from our carefully selected and trusted partners. For example:
