Significant Benefits for Student Members of an Akava Union
The financial peace of mind for Finnish students is at its lowest level in recorded history, and students are significantly more concerned than before about not being able to manage their debts and loans, according to Danske Bank’s Financial Peace of Mind 2024 study.
Danske Bank and Akava have been collaborating since 2016 and are now jointly offering higher education students support to alleviate the burden of student loan interest and encourage students with financial assistance to start regular saving even during their studies. This collaboration brings financially significant new benefits to students, helping them focus on their studies. The total financial value of these benefits for a first-year student can be up to 300 euros.
Summary of Akava Benefits for Higher Education Students:
- New student loan without service fees and withdrawal charges, 0% margin for 5 years
- 30 euros initial fund for a new Regular Savings fund savings agreement
- First 5 stock trades without brokerage fee for those opening a stock savings account, no management fee

- Mastercard Gold combination card without annual fee
- Harvest account savings with 3-month Euribor – 0.9% interest from the first euro

This is not an offer from the bank. Eligibility for a credit card and loan requires a positive credit decision. Danske Bank checks the customer’s credit report with Suomen Asiakastieto Oy and the Positive Credit Register when making the credit decision.
