How do I earn bonus interest on my Bump Savings account?
Bonus interest is payable each month that you:
- Make a deposit to the account;
- Ensure your account balance is higher at the end than the beginning; and
- Keep your account balance above $0 at all times.
For bonus interest qualification, a month is the period from close of business on the last business day of the previous month to close of business on the last business day of the current month.
When is interest paid to my Bump Savings account?
Interest is paid on the last business day of each calendar month. Balances in your account on and after the last business day won't be included in the interest calculation for that month but will be included in the interest calculation for the following month. Balances include deposits made to your account.
Other fees and charges may apply. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions (PDF 897KB)
