    Account Closure

    We're sorry to hear this. You may be unable to close your Save account if your Everyday Account is blocked, as this is where we will move all remaining Save account funds. 

     

    Please contact Customer Service for further support. 

    Your money in your Save account will be moved to your Everyday Account. This includes money in the balance of your Save account together with the total balance of your Save account Spaces and any interest earned in that month, excluding the interest earned on the day of closure.


    If the interest you've earned in that month is subject to withholding tax, this will be deducted from the amount moved to your Everyday Account.

    Once you have closed your Save account, you will receive an email with your Closing Statement. If you require any other statements, please contact us.

    To close your Save account go to your Profile, select the three dots next to your Save account, select 'Close Account'.

    Eligibility

    If you have an Everyday Account, you can open a Save account linked to your Everyday Account. 


    To do this, just go to the Profile section of the app to select 'Open a new account' and proceed.

    Interest

    The interest rate is variable and may be changed by us from time to time. If we change the interest rate applicable to your Save account, we’ll let you know via AMP Bank GO. We’ll do this as soon as reasonably possible and no later than when the change takes effect.

    To view the interest rate applied to your Save account,

     

    1. Go to your Account Profile
    2. Select 'Statements and Documents'
    3. Select 'Interest rates' 


    Interest rates are also available on amp.com.au

    You can track your interest accrued for the month on your Save Account homepage where it says 'Interest accrued this month'. This will be paid into your Account on the first day the following month. 

    You are paid interest on the 1st of the following month that you have earned interest on. 

    Interest is paid daily on your positive cleared account balance at the end of the day, including balances in your Save account Spaces. 

     

    This is also known as your 'Balance Earning interests'. 

    Interest is calculated based on the following formula:


    Daily Accrued Interest = (Daily Balance Earning Interest x Interest Rate %) / 365


    Your balance at the end of the day (Daily Closing Balance) is multiplied by the interest rate and divided by 365 days (even in leap years). This is your Daily Interest Earned.


    Where tiered interest rates apply, each tiered interest rate applies to the portion of the Balance Earning Interest that falls within that tier. Each tier can earn a different interest rate, and only the portion of your balance that falls within a specific tier earns interest at that tiers rate.


    For example, if your Save account is opened on the first day of June, which has 30 daysYour Save account balance is $20,000 and your Save account Space balance is $5,000 = your Balance Earning Interest is $25,000

    There are no changes to the balance of your Save account or Save account Space through the month.

    Your Save account has the following interest tiers.
    $0 - $5000: 1.00% p.a.

    $5,000.01 - $20,000: 2.00% p.a.

    $20,000.01 and above: 3.00% p.a.

    The interest paid to your account on the first day of July will be calculated as follows:


     [[ ($5,000 x 1%) + ($15,000 x 2%) + ($5,000 x 3%) ] / 365] x 30 days = $41.10

    Savings Spaces

    If you don't have enough available funds when the automatic transfer is attempted, the transfer will be declined – that is, funds in your other spaces won't be used to cover the transfer. The transfer won't be attempted again until the next automatic transfer is processed. 

    When a Space is archived, the balance is automatically transferred back to your main Save account balance.

    Withholding Tax

    Tax is withheld at the point of interest payment, which is on the 1st of the following month. 

    Withholding Tax is the tax that is deducted by AMP Bank from the interest earned when you have not provided us your TFN or your TFN exemption. 

    The current withholding tax rate is 47%. 

    If TFN is provided mid month, your interest will not be subject to withholding tax for the entire month. 

    If you provide us with your TFN or a TFN exemption, we will not be required to withhold tax.
