  • How safe is my deposit with People’s Choice Credit Union?

    People’s Choice Credit Union is regulated in the same way as all other Australian Financial Institutions (banks, credit unions and building societies). It is required to meet exceptionally high standards and rules set by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). These regulations and standards have made Australia’s banking system one of the strongest in the world. You can feel confident your money with People’s Choice Credit Union is well protected.

  • How is interest calculated on my Savings and Transaction Accounts?

    On interest bearing savings and transaction accounts we calculate interest on the closing daily credit balance of your account from the last day of the previous month to the second to last day of the month for which interest is being credited. If your savings or transaction account has an interest frequency other than monthly, interest is on the closing daily credit balance of your account from the last day of the month interest was previously credited to the second to last day of the month for which new interest is being credited.

  • How does the bonus interest work on my account?

    On our savings accounts that pay bonus interest, bonus interest will be paid dependent on the product that you hold.
     

    • Online Saver, Dream Saver & Dream Saver Plus bonus interest is paid where no withdrawals are made during the month.
