Rabobank Notice Saver (60 days)

Last updated: Oct 7, 2020

You could take control over your money with a high interest savings account that lets you decide when it’s time to make a withdrawal.

A Notice Saver from Rabobank is a variable rate online savings account where instead of choosing a term length to lock away your money, you choose how much notice you will need to give before you need it. After your notice is given, interest is still earned and the funds you asked for ready for withdrawal when you wanted them. This is an ideal setup for your savings that you don’t need immediate access to, with the flexibility to meet short term goals without penalty. This account has a notice period of 60 days.

Key features

Earn up to 0.95% p.a. interest

The interest rate is variable and rewards you for choosing a longer notice period of 60 days. Note: The interest rate is variable, which means it could change.

No fees whatsoever

Rabobank promises that it doesn't charge any fees on the Notice Saver (60 days) account.

Interest is calculated daily

The interest on the balance is calculated each day and paid into your account on the first day of each month, allowing you to earn compound interest. You also have the option of having interest payments credited to your High Interest Savings Account or Purpose Saver Account.

60 days notice required

The Rabobank Notice Saver (60 days) requires you to give 60 days notice to access your funds. When you give your notice to Rabobank you are also going to let them know how much you would like to withdraw. Your account will then continue to earn interest up until the day before your notice term. You can change your notice up until the day before, but if not the money will be automatically transferred into your High Interest Savings Account on the next business day after the notice period ends. If you're not happy with the 60 notice period, you can choose either the 31 days or 90 days Notice Saver accounts.

A nominated account is required for transfers

Rabobank requires all customers to have a High Interest Savings Account. This account will then be used to make your transfers to and from your Notice Saver.

Top up your account whenever you want

You have the ability to add to your balance whenever you want, simply by transferring money into the account from your linked Australian bank account.
