  1. A “bank month” is different to a calendar month. Each one ends on the second to last business day of a calendar month, and the next bank month starts the following calendar day.

  2. Within each bank month the first withdrawal is free, and a $3 withdrawal fee applies to each withdrawal after that. A withdrawal includes transferring your money from your Rapid Save account to one of your other BNZ accounts. It does not include transferring money to a BNZ term deposit. If you ask us to change your account to a Rapid Save, this fee also applies to withdrawals on the day of switching, and any non-business days prior.
