BidSave account

Saving. Made Simple.
BidSave is the savings account that rewards you with great interest rates on a minimum balance of R50. Linked to the account is the BidSave card which can be used at millions of ATMs, stores and restaurants that display the Visa sign. No transaction fees are charged when you use the BidSave card and, if you do not transact on your BidSave account, you pay no fees.
