Reserve Account
If you have more funds than you require on a day-to-day basis, but don't want to tie them up a Reserve Account could be the ideal solution.
- Currency choice - select the currency of the account to suit your requirements
- Foreign exchange management - the ability to hold currency will reduce your foreign exchange costs
- Banded interest rates - subject to market conditions, you will earn higher returns on larger balances
