Hello B.B
With the “Bendigo Bank Reward Saver (for 31 years old or over)”
1. How often is the interest calculated on the above account and how often is interest deposited back into the account
2. could I have two of these “Bendigo Bank Reward Saver (for 31 years old or over)” I.e when balance is nearing $100K instead of going back to a base rate can one just open a second account?
Hi John, you’ve reached Finder, not Bendigo Bank.
The interest is calculated daily and paid monthly. You can only have one Reward Saver account open in your name.
Thanks,
Alison
How is the term deposit it says 3.5 % then interest then higher the longer you leave it there. when is the interest paid into the account. Can i deposit and with draw at any time
Hi Ian, term deposits will often offer a higher rate on longer term lengths. This is because you need to lock your money away for longer. When you’ve opened a term deposit, you can’t deposit or withdraw money until the term length has ended. The interest rates on this page are for interest being paid at maturity of the term.
if i withdraw cash from yr atm ie$1500 with a qudos card how much is your fee ?
Hi,
Bendigo bank doesn’t specify the charge for external customers using their ATMs. You could confirm the charge by calling them directly on 1300 236 344, or you can also see the fee on the ATM screen itself before you confirm your transaction.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Alison
