Instant Access Saving Accounts

Tax is applied to the interest which is earned from an Instant Access Savings Account.

Instant Access Savings Accounts are great accounts for those who need access to their money to fund incidentals such as car repairs, household repairs etc. These accounts offer a totally secure way of saving known as a "deposit backed" account. This means that you are guaranteed to get back the amount that you deposit into the account and therefore there is no risk involved. Interest is paid on the account and is usually around 1% (AER). This interest rate does improve if you are prepared to manage the account online or by way of the phone.

Internet banking offers more control over your account for those people who are comfortable using the Internet or telephone, it allows you to manage your account day or night from the comfort of your home. The biggest draw back with Internet and telephone banking is the way that you access the funds. Money must first be transferred to a current account which then allows access via a bank or an ATM.
