Interest tender
With the interest rate tender process, the key interest rate is determined daily. In addition, banks bid on an interest-free interest tender bond from Alpha Bank. Bids in the range of 98% and 102% of the nominal value are possible. A bid of 98% corresponds to an interest rate of 2%, the bidder bank effectively receives 2% interest on the nominal value of the bond at maturity. A bid of 102% corresponds to an interest rate of -2% – the bidder bank effectively pays Alpha Bank 2% interest on the nominal value of the bond. One interest rate tender bond with a term of seven days is issued each day. This starts the bidding process, in which banks can submit their bids up to a maximum of their system loan amount.

At the end of the bidding process, all bids are served OTC automatically and the volume-weighted average interest rate is calculated from the bids. The average of the last 30-day average interest rate corresponds to the new main interest rate. The resulting reseve interest rate can never be negative but can fall down to 0.0000%. The main interest rate itself can be negative and affects the offered system bonds.
