The Bonus Saver rate is the base variable rate plus the bonus variable rate, which applies when bonus interest conditions are met ($100 minimum deposit and no withdrawals per month).
You need to make a minimum deposit of $100 to the account and no withdrawals for the month to receive bonus variable rates. If these conditions aren’t met, you will only be eligible to receive the base variable interest rate.
Interest is calculated on the daily balances, and paid at the end of a calendar month or on the day the account is closed.
Only one Bonus Saver account is allowed per customer, solely or jointly owned.
If interest is payable on your account, it is calculated on a daily basis using the following formula:
Daily Closing Balance X interest rate / 365
The daily closing balance is the credit balance on your account at the end of a day. All current interest rates are available on our website.
Fixed term deposits offer a guaranteed rate of return on your money for the life of an investment. They are also a low maintenance option so they are more 'set and forget' than savings accounts, which are more flexible with withdrawals but require meeting bonus conditions in order to get the bonus rate.
