Two options for saving with Investec

We recognise that different savers have different needs and expectations. This is why we offer two separate groups of savings products for which the initial account opening, management and ongoing servicing is different. 

If you meet the criteria of a high-net-worth individual, we encourage you to look at our Private Bank Savings Accounts. Generally, these are managed via a dedicated Private Banker assigned to you. These are quite different to, and sit separately from, our Investec Save accounts which are designed with simplicity in mind. These are self-managed and are supported solely through live chat functionality.

 

FAQs

Here we've answered some common questions we get about the difference between our Online Savings Accounts and Investec Private Bank's Savings Accounts. Find out how our savings accounts compare.

For FAQs specifically about Online Savings Accounts, please visit our dedicated FAQs page

  • Can I speak to someone over the phone about Investec Save accounts?

    In order to offer competitive interest rates, support relating to these products is only available through live chat, which offers a real person on the other end that will be able to assist you. Head to savings.investec.com and then click the 'Live chat' button in the bottom right of the screen. 

  • Why can't I see my Investec Save account in Investec Online?

    Investec Online allows our Private Banking and Wealth Management clients to log in and interact with their accounts with us. If you are a Private Banking client, you can see your Private Bank Savings Accounts in Investec Online.

    However, our Investec Save accounts sit on a separate platform so won’t be visible. Clients with an Investec Save account receive separate credentials to log in and view their account at https://savings.secure.investec.com/login

  • Why are Investec's Investec Save accounts separate to its Private Bank Savings Accounts?

    Our different savings accounts are designed to serve different purposes for different clients. As such, they sit on separate platforms. In the case of the Investec Save accounts, the self-serve nature of the platform means we can offer competitive interest rates on customers' savings. 

  • Can I speak to my Investec banker about my Investec Save account?

    You’re welcome to speak to your Investec contact about your savings, but they can't manage Investec Save accounts on your behalf or answer any queries relating to them. These accounts are designed to be self-serve and therefore sit on a stand-alone platform. You can access your Investec Save account by logging onto Investec's Save platform. If help is required, customers can request this using live chat by heading to savings.investec.com and selecting the 'Live chat' icon in the bottom right of the screen. 

  • If I'm already a Private Banking client, why do I need to re-apply for an Investec Save account, if I want one?

    Our Investec Save accounts sit on a stand-alone, self-service platform that uses advanced technology to allow you to manage your account/s online. If you already have a Private Banking or Wealth Management account with us, the current position is that you will need to re-verify your identity to open an Investec Save account.
