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.
