To understand how interest applies to your account, please review the relevant Product Schedule, available here.
Current interest rates, including any bonus rate terms and conditions, can be found here, or by contacting us.
Below are examples explaining the two main types of interest structures that apply to our accounts: Tiered and Strata.
A single interest rate applies to your entire balance.
Under a tiered interest structure, the interest rate your account earns depends on which balance tier your total balance falls into. Once your balance is in a tier, that tier’s rate applies to your whole balance, not just part of it.
Example:
Mary holds an account with an opening balance of $12,000.
The following Tiered interest rates apply:
| Balance | Interest Rate |
| $0 - $4,999 | 1.00% p.a. |
| $5,000 - $19,999 | 2.00% p.a. |
| $20,000+ | 3.00% p.a. |
Because Mary’s balance of $12,000 sits in the $5,000–$19,999 tier, her entire $12,000 earns 2.00% p.a.
Daily interest calculation
Daily interest = $12,000 × 2.00% ÷ 365 = $0.66 per day
Monthly interest
If the month has 30 days:
$0.66 × 30 = $19.80 interest, paid to Mary’s account at month-end.
Different rates apply to different parts (“strata”) of your balance.
Under a strata interest structure, your balance is divided into portions, and each portion earns the rate assigned to that strata (or tier). This means different parts of your balance may earn different rates.
Example:
Gerald holds an account with an opening balance of $12,000.
The following Strata interest rates apply:
| Portion of Balance | Interest Rate |
| First $4,999 | 1.00% p.a. |
| Next $15,000 (up to $19,999) | 2.00% p.a. |
| Amount above $20,000 | 3.00% p.a. |
Gerald’s balance is divided like this:
Daily interest calculation
Total daily interest = $0.51
Monthly interest
If the month has 30 days:
$0.51 × 30 = $15.30 interest, which is paid to Gerald’s account at month-end.
Important information
The information and examples provided on this page are for general information only. They are designed to explain different interest calculation methods and do not reflect the actual interest rates offered by Newcastle Permanent.
The examples are illustrative only and may differ from how interest is calculated on our products, including due to differences in rounding, calculation frequency, or product features.
Example:
When converting from an Online Savings Account to a Smart Saver Account on the 15th of the month, interest will accrue at the Online Savings Account rate up to the 14th. From the 15th onwards, interest will accrue at the Smart Saver Account rate. However, interest will only be paid at month end if the Smart Saver Account interest earning requirements are met for the entire month. E.g. Grow your balance and make no more than 2 withdrawals in the month.

Confirmation of Payee is an industry wide service rolling out in 2025 that matches the bank account details entered by a payer with the account details held by the recipient’s bank and displays a match outcome to the payer. We are working on introducing this service to our customers in 2025 as part of our commitment to the Scam-Safe Accord, to help safeguard our customers from fraud, scams and mistaken payments.
As part of our implementation of the service, we will firstly be enabling other banks to check our customers’ name, BSB and account number. For example, your account name could be displayed to payers, so they can verify that the account details they have entered matches yours before making a payment to you. If you have any questions or concerns on how this may impact you, please contact us.
If you are receiving money into a personal account using your BSB and account number, and the payer’s financial institution participates in the Confirmation of Payee service, the person who’s paying you will be shown your account name only if the name they have entered is a match or a close match. If any of these details are incorrect, your name will not be shown to protect your privacy.
If you’re a business or government organisation account that’s receiving a payment, the name of your account will be shown to the payer, regardless of whether it’s a match or not.
If you have any questions or concerns on how this may impact you, please contact us.
For further information about how we manage your privacy including how you can access and correct your personal information or make a complaint about how we have handled your information, please see our Privacy and Credit Reporting Policy.
A Term Deposit lets you invest a set amount for a fixed term at a fixed interest rate. It may suit you if you want certainty and don’t need immediate access to your funds. If you think you’ll need quick access, consider other deposit options.

If we don’t receive instructions, your Term Deposit will automatically renew for the same term and payment frequency (or closest equivalent) at the interest rate applicable on the maturity date.

To enquire about early access to your Term Deposit, you can contact our Customer Assist Team.
