# The Online Savings Account Standard Rate is variable and subject to change without prior notice; however, the Introductory Bonus Rate offer is a fixed rate that won’t change during the period it applies to your account. The Introductory Bonus Rate applies for the first 3 months after the account is opened, on top of the Standard Rate. At the end of the 3-month Introductory Bonus Rate period only the Standard Rate will continue to apply. The Introductory Bonus Rate is available on a new Online Savings Account if you and all other account owners have not been eligible to receive the Introductory Bonus Rate on any other Online Savings Account in the previous 6-months. To be eligible to receive any interest inclusive of the Introductory Bonus Rate or Standard Rate, all account owners must hold an Everyday Account, Home Loan or a Credit Facility with Newcastle Permanent.
