- How do I send funds to my Notice Saver?
- You can deposit funds directly into your account from any New Zealand bank account by entering your Notice Saver account number, or you can transfer funds from another Heartland Bank account.
- How do I set my notice period?
- When you’re ready to access the funds in your Notice Saver account, simply open the ‘Make a payment’ screen in the Heartland Mobile App (or Heartland Digital) and complete the details required. It will automatically select a date 32 or 90 days in the future, depending on which rate you’ve chosen. If this falls on a weekend or a public holiday, the payment will be made on the following business day.
- Can I make partial withdrawals of my funds?
- Yes, you can choose to withdraw any amount to your nominated account, as long as you give us your chosen 32 or 90 days’ notice. There’s no limit to the amount of withdrawals you can make from your Notice Saver account, provided the notice period is met each time.
- Are there fees attached to this account?
-
There are no set-up, transaction or maintenance fees.
If Heartland agrees to a request for early withdrawal from a Notice Saver account, an Early Withdrawal Fee will be payable on the total funds withdrawn, subject to a minimum fee of $12.00. - Can I access my funds without providing the required 32 or 90-days’ notice?
-
Depending on the account type, customers are required to provide either 32 or 90-days’ notice for every withdrawal. Heartland may agree to a withdrawal request without the required notice in certain circumstances, such as the death of the customer or unforeseen financial hardship, but is not required to do so.
If Heartland agrees to such a request, an Early Withdrawal Fee is payable on the total funds withdrawn, subject to a minimum fee of $12.00. - If Heartland approves a withdrawal without the required notice, how will the Early Withdrawal Fee be calculated?
-
The Early Withdrawal Fee is calculated by multiplying the ‘early withdrawal adjustment rate’ by the amount to be withdrawn and the number of days remaining on the notice period, subject to a minimum charge of $12.00.
The ‘early withdrawal adjustment rate’ is the difference between your Notice Saver account’s interest rate and the Direct Call interest rate, as at the date of the early withdrawal request, plus an additional 1%.
For example:
Early withdrawal adjustment rate = (Notice Saver rate - Direct Call rate) + 1%
Early withdrawal fee = Amount to be withdrawn x (‘early withdrawal adjustment rate’ ÷ 365) x Days remaining on notice period
Subject to a minimum fee of $12.00 - How many Notice Saver accounts can I have?
- There is no limit on the number of Notice Saver accounts you can have, but there is a limit of $5 million per customer that can be held across all Notice Saver accounts.
- Can I get my Notice Saver interest paid to another account?
- No, interest can only be credited to the Notice Saver account. Payments out of the account require 32 or 90 days’ notice and can only be made to your nominated account. If you’d like to change your nominated account, please contact our team on 0800 85 20 20.
- Can I open a Notice Saver account for my Trust or business?
- Yes, you can.
- Is Notice Saver available as a PIE account?
- No, it is not.
- Will the amount available to withdraw include my accrued interest?
- Interest is calculated daily and paid monthly. You are able to provide notice for any available funds, including interest that has been paid, but you can’t give notice for accrued interest that hasn’t yet been paid (monthly) to your account.
- Do I need to give notice to withdraw funds from my Notice Saver and put them in a Heartland Term Deposit?
- No, get in touch with our team and we will be happy to help you move your funds into a Term Deposit immediately.
