What is a Bonus Interest Savings account?

• Higher Interest Rates: Bonus Saver interest rates are generally higher compared to regular savings accounts, allowing your savings to grow faster.
• Incentivised Saving:Savings accounts with bonus interest accounts encourage you to save more by rewarding you with bonus interest when you meet the criteria, such as maintaining a certain balance or making regular deposits.

What features should I look for in a Bonus Interest Saver account?

• Bonus Criteria: Understand the requirements you need to meet to earn the bonus interest. This could include maintaining a minimum balance, making regular deposits, or sticking to withdrawal limits.

What is the difference between a bonus interest saver account and a regular savings account?

The key difference between a Bonus Saver Interest Account and a regular savings account lies in the potential to earn bonus interest. While both account types facilitate saving, a Bonus Saver Interest Account offers an additional incentive in the form of bonus interest. To earn this bonus interest, account holders must meet specific criteria, which is not a feature of most regular savings accounts.

What happens if I don't meet the conditions for earning bonus interest?

If you fail to meet the conditions required to earn bonus interest in a Bonus Interest Saver Account, you’ll typically earn the standard base interest rate instead.
