What is the interest rate?

The RCT Community Impact Saver account offers a variable rate of interest of 2.00% gross* p.a./AER** annually or 1.98% gross*pa/2.00% AER** monthly.

Annual interest is calculated daily and paid annually on 31 December each year. If you close the account before 31 December, we’ll credit the interest on the day you close it. Monthly interest is calculated daily and paid to your account on the first day of the month.

Interest can be added to the account or linked account in your name.

*We pay all savings interest gross, which means that no tax is deducted. It’s your responsibility to pay any tax due, based on your individual circumstances. Tax rules may change in future.

**AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and provides a means of comparing interest rates by showing what the rate would be if interest was paid and added once a year.
