Getting back to Sharesies. I had a response to a couple of questions I asked re the new Savings Account product.
Transfer times are not the best given that one has to first transfer funds into their wallet, wait for that to be processed, then transfer to their Savings Account.
If transfers are made before 4pm, they will clear into the Save account the following day. This is the same timeframe for withdrawing from Save back to your Wallet. Banking with ASB won't help processing times in regards to Wallet > Save.
You also asked about a Save number, Investors don't have a Save account number, so we're not able to advise on that one.
I also find it very interesting that Savings Accounts are not allocated a bank account number - which means we cannot transfer funds directly from one of our own external bank accounts. That is a deal breaker for me. Interest rate is not competitive enough to sacrifice the ability to do that.
