FAQs

Monthly credit interest is based on the standard variable rate applied to your savings account. It’s calculated daily based on your positive account balance.

If you have a GoalSaver or Youthsaver account, you can earn bonus interest when you grow your balance each calendar month. This is additional interest on top of the standard variable rate. Both types of interest can help grow your savings, however, bonus interest offers could help your reach your savings goal quicker.
