World party day in Burgenland: Celebrate 100 years of saving tradition!
The World Savings Day, which can look back on a very special anniversary this year, was launched 100 years ago. He was celebrated for the first time in 1924 at the international Sparkassen congress in Milan. On October 31, the banks, including Burgenland Bank, invited to celebrations in their branches, where the focus was on saving.
In the Burgenland region, classic savings, like in a savings account or a savings book, are still very popular. A current IMAS survey showed that 90 percent of those surveyed believe that everyone should have a financial reserve. In view of the concerns about the future, 56 percent of the respondents said that they fear not to save enough. On average, the Burgen countries cover 360 euros per month.
growing interest in saving
The Austrian Institute for Economic Research (WIFO) has published a prediction that predicts an increase in a savings rate in Austria from 8.7 percent in 2023 to 11.4 percent in 2024. This trend is also noticeable at Bank Burgenland, which opened its doors on the World Savings Day and had numerous interesting offers. At the 22 locations in Burgenland, Carinthia, Styria and Vienna, customers flocked to the branches to find out about the various savings options.
"On World Savings Day, not only our savings campaigns are in the foreground, but also the personal conversations with our customers," said Petra Werner , branch manager of Neusiedler Strasse in Eisenstadt.
In particular, children were very interested in World Savings Day, as the banks provided special promotions and gifts for the younger savings on this day. Dieter Friesenbiller , deputy branch manager in Neusiedler Straße, reported: "There are great gifts if you can earn your savings box full of convenience on World Savings Day and then earn the first interest with a classic savings book."

Bank Burgenland did not only have a lot to offer for the small savers. There were also attractive offers for the more experienced customers on this special day.
