Application
Existing clients
If you already have a transactional account with Nedbank, then you only need your ID or passport to open the 32Day Notice Account.
New clients
For new Nedbank clients, you can open an account with the bank to access the 32Day notice offer. To open an account you will need:
- Your South African ID or a passport (for non-residents)
- Proof of residence (not older than three months)
Cash deposits
After your account has been opened and confirmed, Nedbank will require you to deposit a minimum of R250.00. The minimum deposit keeps your account active and allows you to start earning interest.
Following that, you can choose to increase your capital by placing weekly or monthly stop orders with your current account. Monthly or weekly stop orders from your Nedbank current account are free; however, the minimum stop order value is R100.
Cash deposits from non-Nedbank accounts are also possible, but there will be fees. The prices are reasonable; in fact, Nedbank is one of South Africa’s most cost-effective banks in terms of account fees.
Cash withdrawals
When you make a withdrawal from the account, you must give 32 days’ notice, which is why it’s named a “32Day Notice Account.” A minimum of R100 should be withdrawn.

Every month, interest is calculated and paid on your daily account balances. The interest rate on your account varies depending on market conditions and the prime lending rate.
However, the interest rates you’ll be offered are subject to confirmation after Nedbank activates your account. As the table indicates, Nedbank offers tiered interest rates on savings accounts. As a result, the higher the interest rate, the higher the balance in your account.
Account holders can choose to have your interest earnings deposited directly to your current account every month. Individuals could also have their interest capitalized to take advantage of higher rates.
If the interest is paid out monthly, funds will earn a nominal rate of interest. While capitalized interest allows account holders to earn a higher rate of return on your investments.
You can link your account to your electronic banking profile and transact or maintain it through digital channels.
