    If it is an e-saver account the interest is paid on the anniversary of the account opening.

    When will the interest go in?

    It doesn't matter. If you ask them to close the account the interest will be paid to you along with the rest of the money in the account.

    NB - You must ask them to close the account rather than just withdrawing the cash.
  • But you don't need to wait for the interest : if you close the account, it will be paid immediately. Or you can still move the balance and leave the account open and the interest will still be paid on schedule.
