We also realise that different businesses have different banking needs, and that's why we have designed a current account that gives you the flexibility to choose between packages that most suit you.
Business Solution Bonus Savings Account
The Bonus Savings Account has been created specifically for customers who want to save unused capital over longer periods and for future business investments. It is therefore structured to reward a disciplined saving routine. Specifically, if no withdrawals are made during a quarter, you will be rewarded with a bonus that is twice the normal interest amount for that period. The account is set up to provide maximum benefits for long-term saving. No fees are charged for account maintenance and you are not required, to have a minimum operating balance. Extra flexibility is introduced in the form of one free withdrawal every quarter, should you require funds for whatever purpose. If more than one withdrawal is made during a quarter, a charge will be levied. Interest is paid at tiered rates on a quarterly basis.
