Reserve Account

If you have more funds than you require on a day-to-day basis, but don't want to tie them up a Reserve Account could be the ideal solution.

  • Currency choice - select the currency of the account to suite your requirements
  • Foreign exchange management - the ability to hold currency will reduce your foreign exchange costs
  • Banded interest rates - subject to market conditions, you will earn higher returns on larger balances

The interest rates paid on balances are displayed in the following table:
