The nominal interest rate is used to calculate the daily interest earned on your account balance, which accumulates until it is capitalised on an agreed date every month. The interest is then either reinvested or transferred to your savings account.
The effective annual interest rate is calculated by taking into account the fact that interest is earned on capitalised interest over a period 12 months.
