An investment account is a current account linked to a securities account. It is used to transfer money in transactions to securities and deposit services. An investment account is particularly intended for transactions in funds, stocks, bonds, and ETFs.
A private individual can postpone taxation of the investment income by using an investment account. For that purpose, the transactions with financial assets must be made through an investment account only. As long as you do not withdraw the earned income from the investment account, tax liability is not created. Learn more about tax liability

An investment account is suitable for you if:
- You do not intend to use the earned investment income immediately
- You want to freely change the securities without paying immediately the personal income tax on the capital gains
- You commit to declare your investment income on your own
You do not need an investment account if:
- You plan to use the earned profits to cover your daily settlements rather than to invest it
- You are using only deposit services (savings account, term deposit), and save for your 3rd pension pillar with life insurance. In these cases, there is no option of deferring the personal income tax payment (you can keep paying PIT as you have done so far)
- You invest into pension fund or funded pension agreements, unlisted shares and units of companies
