The S4 Retirement Plus Deeming account is an everyday account that rewards pensioners or retirees with higher interest than normal accounts. At the same time, it gives you a range of convenient ways to bank to help make your day to day banking hassle free.

How does it work?

A Retirement Plus Deeming account lets you take advantage of higher interest rates based on the Federal Government's Income Test deeming rates. Interest is calculated on your daily balance and paid tri-annually.

Who is eligible for this account?

To be eligible for Retirement Plus you will be a holder of a Seniors Card, a recipient of Family and Community Services Pensions or a self-funded retiree over the age of 55 years.
