16 September 2024
Saving money is a journey, and choosing the right savings account can be key to achieving your financial goals.
The FNB 32 Day Flexi Notice account combines flexibility with attractive interest rates. It allows you to grow your savings while providing easy access to your money after 32 days, at no cost.
Tip: Using a budget calculator helps you to put together an effective monthly budget.
A notice account is designed to promote long-term saving habits by offering a higher interest rate compared to a regular savings account.
To “earn” this higher return, you agree to a set notice period before withdrawing your funds.
Typically, you will incur fees if you withdraw money early from a notice account.
You can access the funds in your FNB 32 Day Flexi Notice account early if you need to, but you will be charged, so it’s better to adhere to the notice period and maximise your savings.
Whether you’re saving for a rainy day or a big purchase, or simply looking to make the most of your hard-earned money, this no-risk account provides peace of mind – your original deposit and quoted returns are guaranteed.
The interest rate is based on the amount you invest, and while you sacrifice some liquidity – meaning, you can’t withdraw your funds at any time – you’ll achieve a higher return on your savings.
If you wish to access the funds in your account, you must give the bank 32 days’ notice before you may withdraw the money at no cost. The 32-day period starts on the day you give notice.
The account allows you to manage your savings conveniently and flexibly. You can withdraw money for free after 32 days, or sooner (at a cost).
You can also deposit money into the account any time, from anywhere, making it easy to grow your savings. The “tiered interest” aspect means the more you invest, the more you earn.
