Hi Jan,
Thanks for contacting Finder.
The interest rate p.a. for the People’s Choice Club 55 Account is 2.05%. Be reminded though that the interest rate is applied to the entire balance, and is tiered to give you a higher rate of return for having more money in your account. Also, the interest is calculated on your daily balance and paid into the account once a month.
You may compare a list of Pensioner Deeming Accounts. We have a panel in which you can enter the initial deposit, monthly deposit, and period. Then click “Calculate.”
Once you have chosen a particular account, you may then click on the “Go to site” button and you will be redirected to the bank’s website where you can proceed with your application or get in touch with their representatives for further assistance.
Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you. You can also contact the provider if you have specific questions.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Judith
