Why save with Heartland?
Got questions?
- Can I open an account online?
- Yes. Existing customers can open most of our Call, Savings, and Term Deposit accounts through Heartland Digital or the Heartland Mobile App. New customers can open an account online, through our website application.
- Are Heartland Bank savings and deposits accounts protected under the Depositor Compensation Scheme?
- Yes. The Depositor Compensation Scheme (DCS) covers eligible depositors up to $100,000 held in DCS-protected accounts. Find out more
- Can I choose the income tax rate that applies to my savings account?
-
Yes. An individual, company or trust can specify the income tax rate at which tax is deducted from the credit interest paid on their savings accounts (including the new 39% top rate of income tax). If you have not told us which tax rate to apply, we will generally apply the default rate of 33% to individuals and trusts and 28% to companies. However we have to apply a tax rate of 45% if we do not have your IRD number (even if you choose a lower rate). Further details can be found at www.ird.govt.nz/income-tax/withholding-taxes/resident-withholding-tax-rwt/using-the-right-rwt-tax-rate
