POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANKS.
18. Hours of Business. — Every Post Office Sav-
ings Bank, which is also a Money-Order Office, is
open for bank business during the same hours as for
Money Orders.
19. Amount of Deposits. — Deposits of any amount,
not less than one shilling and not including any
pence, are received at any Post-Office Savings Bank,
provided those made by any separate depositor in any
year ending on the 31st December do not increase
the total amount of his deposits by more than £30,
and provided such total amount, exclusive of interest.
is never more than £150. When any depositor's
principal and interest amount together to £200, no
more interest will be allowed until this sum of £200
be lessened.
20. Interest. — Interest calculated yearly at the
rate of £2 10s. per cent, per annum will be allowed
on every complete pound deposited, reckoned from
the first day of the calendar month next following
the day on which a complete pound shall have been
deposited or completed, up to the first day of the
calendar month in which the moneys are withdrawn.
The interest thus calculated will be at the rate of
one halfpenny per calendar month for every complete
pound. The interest will be reckoned to the 31st
December in every year, and will then be added to
the principal.
21. Transfers of Deposits. — A depositor in the
Post Office Savings Bank may transfer his deposits
to any other Savings Bank legally established; and
on his written application, accompanied by his book,
to the chief office of the Postmaster-General in a
form to be obtained at any Post Office Savings
Bank, he will be furnished with a certificate of the
whole amount due to him, and his account with the
Post Office Savings Bank will thereupon be closed.
A depositor in any legally established Savings Bank
may transfer his account to the Post Office Savings
Bank, and may require from the trustees or mana-
gers of such bank a certificate, stating the amount
due to him, and thereupon his account with such
bank will be closed. The certificate may be delivered
at any Post Office Savings Bank, and will be re-
ceived as a deposit of the amount therein set forth,
and on the certificate being forwarded to London, and
verified by the National Debt Commissioners, an
account for the amount thereof will be opened with
the depositor, and an acknowledgment for the amount
will be sent to him.
