The Details
A NoticeSaver account requires you to provide 60 days notice each time you wish to make a withdrawal, this allows you to grow your savings, and ‘harvest’ the funds when you need it.
The notice period is the amount of time you have to wait each time you wish to withdraw funds from your NoticeSaver.
To give notice, you just log in and set up a transfer for the amount you'd like to withdraw. Your transfer will automatically happen on the next business day after the 60 day notice period has passed. The best part is you'll still be earning the NoticeSaver interest rate right up until your money is withdrawn.
You can cancel a notice instruction any time up until the last business day before the transfer is due.
You can't access NoticeSaver funds until 60 days after you have given a withdrawal notice. The only exception is if you are facing financial hardship. If you don't think you can wait 60 days, another one of our great products such as PremiumSaver might suit you better.
Opening a NoticeSaver is easy. Existing customers can log in and open a NoticeSaver with just a few clicks.
