Rabobank Notice Saver (31 days)

  • Alison Banney's headshot

Summary

Put your money into a high interest savings account that requires advanced notice to make a withdrawal.

A Notice Saver from Rabobank is a variable rate savings account where instead of choosing a term length to lock away your money, you choose how much notice you will need to give before you need it. After your notice is given, interest is still earned and the funds you asked for ready for withdrawal when you wanted them.

This product suits a saver who doesn't need fast access to the money in the account, but doesn't want to lock it away entirely.

Pros

  • Competitive interest rate
  • Mobile banking app available
  • Add to the balance at anytime
  • No fees

Cons

  • Required to give notice if you want to access funds
  • Highest rate requires a larger amount deposited into the account

How the Finder Score helps you find a better savings account

The Finder Score is a simple score out of 10. The higher a savings account's score, the better we think it is for the average customer.

We score each savings account in our database of hundreds based on a data-driven methodology with 2 main criteria: Does the account offer a high interest rate? And is it easy for savers to actually earn that rate?
