    Hello,

    Just a question.

    Is the interest on an online savings account calculated on the "Available" Balance or the "Overall" Balance each day????

    When I say "overall" I mean including transactions which have not be cleared (i.e. deposits still awaiting to be transferred from a different institution).

    Thanks.

    If you download the financial service guide from their bank account it should say. From memory, Bankwest (who I use) calcuate interest on the overall balance.
