“What's worth saving to you?
Is it something no one else understands?
Something that speaks only to you.
Something that matters to your children.
Your community. Your people.

What we save matters.
Because it's not just for us.
It's for future generations too.
And for them, it matters.”

- Katrina Esau, last fluent speaker of N|uu

“As jy iets kan bewaar, wat sal dit wees?
Iets wat niemand anders verstaan nie?
Iets wat net tot jou spreek?
Iets wat baie vir jou kinders beteken?
Vir jou gemeenskap? Jou mense?

Die dinge wat ons bewaar, maak saak.
Want dis nie net vir ons nie.
Dis vir toekomstige generasies ook.
En vir hulle maak dit saak.”

Lokho esikongayo kubalulekile
Ngoba akupheleli kithina kuphela.
Kodwa okwezizukulwane ezizayo futhi
Nalokho, kubalulekile kubona.”

Yaye oko, kungundoqo kubo.”

Interest that gets bigger over time*

It pays to give your money some space. The annual interest rate bumps up the longer you leave your imali in GoalSave.

4%	1-30 days Earn 4% from day one. Now that’s a good start
5%	31-90 days After 31 days your interest rate ups to 5% my friend
6%	90+ days From here on the interest jumps to 6%. Don’t touch your money – just watch it earn interest on the interest already earned. It’s a beautiful thing
7%	10 Day Notice days Give us a 10-day heads up before taking your payout, and earn yourself a Bonus on all the interest earned on your GoalSave. This takes the maximum rate you’ll earn to 7%*
8%	10 Day Notice days If your salary is paid into your TymeBank account, and you give us 10-days’ notice on a payout, you’ll get an additional “Salary Kicker” that takes your maximum rate to 8%*
	* GoalSave Bonus and Salary Kicker are calculated by multiplying the stepped GoalSave interest earned over the life of the investment by a factor. The calculation details are explained here.

Frequently asked questions

GoalSave interest is earned in steps over the life of the account, with the 4% per annum rate applied for the first 30 days, 5% applied for the next 60 days, and a rate of 6% is applied from then on.
Interest is calculated daily, based on end-of-day balances. It is accrued during the month and all accrued interest is capitalised on the 1^st day of the new month. This means that the interest is added to the account balance, and from then on, the daily interest is calculated based on this new, higher balance.
When a GoalSave payout occurs, accrued but not yet capitalised interest is added to the payout amount (the value paid out includes all customer funds invested and all interest earned over the life of the GoalSave account).
Customers are eligible for the “GoalSave Bonus” when 10 days’ notice is given on a GoalSave withdrawal. The Bonus amount is calculated as [all interest earned over life of GoalSave] x [7% / 6% -1]. This incremental payment results in the maximum interest paid during the life of the GoalSave increasing from 6% to 7%.
Customers who elect to have their salary paid into their TymeBank account are eligible for an additional “Salary Kicker”. This is applied if the conditions for the “GoalSave Bonus” are also met. The Salary Kicker is calculated as [all interest earned over life of GoalSave] x [8% / 7% -1]. When added to the “Goalsave Bonus”, this incremental payment results in the maximum interest paid during the life of the GoalSave increasing from 6% to 8%.
