Not ready to apply for a new account?
Don't regularly use your passbook and do not need a cash card or savings wallet? You can keep using your existing account. But from February 2025, you will not be able to use your passbook and there will be changes to how you prove your identity in branch.
Not the right account for you?
We have a range of different savings accounts that might suit you better.
None of these accounts will come with a passbook or savings wallet.
