Investments – Grow Your Money
Make your money work as hard as it can with a Term or Call Investment with WBS. Whether you want easy access to your savings or a higher interest rate for a fixed term, we can tailor an investment package to suit.
Call Investments
There are no fixed terms with a Call Investment, so you can access your money or top it up whenever you like. Remember, if you do make a withdrawal you’ll earn less interest. Enquire here or we can have a chat at our offices.
All new accounts are subject to a $500 minimum investment.
| Account Balance | Interest Rate Per Annum |
| < $999 | 0% |
| $1,000 – $4,999 | 0.25% |
| $5,000 – $9,999 | 0.35% |
| $10,000+ | 0.50% |
Term Investments
You’ll earn a higher rate of interest when you invest your funds for a set length of time. You choose the time period and we’ll repay or reinvest your funds when the term is complete. Enquire here or we can have a chat at our offices or in your own home.
