Raisin: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Raisin is a savings marketplace operated by Raisin SE. It gives private customers access to deposit and savings products offered by partner banks, several of them in European countries, through a single online platform. The German website names partner banks in Norway, Italy and Germany as examples.

Raisin SE is registered in Berlin, Germany, and the bank Raisin Bank AG, which runs the online banking system, is based in Frankfurt. The pages reviewed do not name the shareholders. The privacy policy refers to the GDPR and states that personal data is in principle not transferred to third countries, with exceptions. It does not name where customer data is stored, but it lists US-based analytics and tracking services. For a European organisation the company is German, and the storage location and any transfers to the USA should be confirmed in the contract.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Raisin

Raisin is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Raisin scores best on data residency.

Raisin is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Raisin together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
