MY EXPERIENCE / A DECISION

Why I went up
the capital in Mintos.

I wanted to earn more income every month. When I checked that withdrawing money from Mintos was easy for me, I decided to contribute more. In 2025 I took that step in three different moments; here I tell the reason and what happened with the payments.

Which encouraged me to contribute more

The reason was quite simple: I wanted the account to generate more income month by month. Having tried the withdrawals gave me confidence to continue contributing. That experience influenced the decision to increase the capital I had in Mintos.

The three contributions of 2025

In January I contributed 8,000 €. In March I added another 10,000 € and in August I again contributed 10,000 €. Among the three movements entered 28,000 € of new capital during the year.

The payments were changing

In January they arrived 34.01 € interest. In September they were 278.80 €. Seeing that evolution connects with what I was looking for by contributing more, although the two amounts alone do not explain the whole change.

Between the two months more capital entered and that money was spending time invested. In addition, interest can arrive by different means, such as ordinary payments, repurchases or late payments. To compare the real return it takes the dates, how much it was invested at each moment and the value of the portfolio.

What I could check when I pulled money

The experience with withdrawals gave me confidence to continue. At the same time, withdrawing cash on one occasion only allows me to talk about that experience. To know how much I could get out of the entire account you have to check what money is available, what is still invested and what is pending.

The statements from January 2025 through 2 November 2026 record €1,685.42 of withdrawals. The withdrawal I confirmed on 2 November 2026 was €150. I do not confuse it with that first test: its date and amount still need to be identified. In my Mintos withdrawals I explain what each source documents.
