Give notice on your Notice Saver

Give notice by making a transfer

To withdraw money from your Notice Saver, you need to give notice.

You can give notice on as much or as little as you like up to your available amount, and you can have multiple transfers on the go. You'll also earn the Notice Saver rate of return right until your money leaves the account.

If you want to withdraw everything, including your interest, check your interest settings before making the transfer — see below for more detail.

To give notice:

1. Log into internet banking.
2. Click your Notice Saver account to open it.
3. Click 'Give 32 days notice to transfer' or 'Give 90 days notice to transfer'.
4. Enter your transfer details — where you want the money to be paid out to, and how much. The date is pre-filled with the date your funds will become available (either 32 or 90 days from now).
5. Enter your statement details for the transfer if you want to.
6. Click 'Next page', then confirm the transfer.

How to check you've given notice

You can see in your 'Future payments' tab within your Notice Saver account that a transfer is scheduled for a certain date.

On your accounts page, your Notice Saver balance will show the total of your account and the available balance will show your total minus the transfer amount.

Change where your interest is paid

The interest that you've earned on the money while it has been in your Notice Saver account either gets reinvested back into your Notice Saver monthly, or gets paid out to your nominated account, depending on what you selected during setup.

If you want your interest to be paid out, check or change your settings:

1. Log into internet banking.
2. Click your Notice Saver account to open it.
3. Under 'Interest instructions', click 'Change where net interest is paid'.
4. The screen will show you the change you're proposing. There are only two options (nominated account, and Notice Saver account) so it will automatically opt for the one that is different to what you had before.
5. If this change works for you, click 'Change interest payments'.

To empty your account, choose to have your interest paid out as well, then transfer your entire balance.

If you want to close your Notice Saver account, send us a secure message.

2. Click your Notice Saver account to open it.

4. Select the new notice period you want.
5. Click 'Next page', then confirm the settings.
