At Unity we believe kiwis’ financial needs are as diverse as this great country we call home, which is why we offer a great range of savings accounts that are specially designed to meet your savings needs, no matter what you’re saving for, or how much you’re trying to save.
Maybe you’re saving for a new or used vehicle? A dream wedding? Or maybe that long-awaited home renovation? Now that you know how a savings account works, it’s time to choose an account that works for you and your finances.
Below you’ll find everything you need to know about our range of savings accounts to help make the decision easy:
Unpredictable finances? Unable to commit to a rigid savings plan? Or simply indecisive? Saving isn’t always easy, which is why Unity's 5 Star CANSTAR rated online saver account gives you the convenience and flexibility of on-call access to your money while you enjoy all of the benefits of a high interest savings account.
When you apply for an online saver account, you don’t just receive one of New Zealand’s best savings accounts, you also avoid costly transaction and account management fees when you use internet banking. So if you’re looking for an easy way to save that won’t get in the way, an online saver account might be just what you’re looking for.
What is a term deposit? It’s only one of the easiest ways to earn high interest on your savings, all while guaranteeing a great return on your investment. Unlike the variable rate of other savings accounts, term deposits earn a fixed rate over the life of an investment term of your choosing, which makes it easy to predict the return on investment you’ll receive from your term deposit.
While the debate over term deposits vs savings accounts can be a complex one, the choice ultimately comes down to how you like to save. Are you saving for the short-term and need access to your savings? Then a savings account is your best bet. If you’re saving for the long-term and would like to earn the highest rate possible, then a term deposit could be a better choice.
If you take saving seriously, then a success saver account can help do the heavy lifting for you so you don’t have to: the more you save, the higher your interest rate. Add in compound interest and a competitive rate, and the success saver is the ideal option for kiwis like you who are on a mission to save.
The holiday period can be a difficult time for Kiwi families, with gifts and food running off the bottom of your already long shopping list. By signing up for a Christmas saver account, you can take the stress out of the holiday season by saving today for the things you want or need when the giving season rolls around.
In fact, many Kiwi families do something similar already by placing some money aside in a drawer or jar throughout the year, so why not put that money you’re already saving to work? A Christmas saver account comes with flexible deposits, free account transfers between any Unity accounts, plus free withdrawals from 1 November to 31 January so you have access to your money when you need it most.
A savings account of their own is every kiwi kid’s first step on the path to great savings habits and an even greater financial life, so why not teach your child or grandchildren valuable savings habits in the best way possible with a Jimmy J account?
With a Jimmy J account, your kids also become a member of the Jimmy J savers club, which keeps your kids engaged and is sure to make saving fun. As a member, they’ll receive great extras like a Jimmy J membership certificate, a Jimmy J membership card, and a birthday card to celebrate their special day.
And for the parents? Your child can deposit or direct credit amounts from job earnings or make a free transfer of as little as $1 a week from you, a grandparent or other family member's Unity account.
