Key features

When talking about savings accounts, the first number to arise is usually the interest rate. The Bank of Melbourne Maxi Saver has a 5.00% introductory rate for the first three months, before dropping to a low 1.10% rate afterwards. 

Offer: If you open your Bank of Melbourne Maxi Saver account digitally, then you might qualify for an additional 0.35% p.a. on top of your introductory savings rate (T&Cs apply).  

The good news is, this account is pretty scant on fees and you can easily go through the account’s entire existence without ever paying one, as there is no ongoing monthly account-keeping fee.  Just keep in mind there is a $15 overdraw fee.

You’ll also find any array of ways to connect to your account, including online banking, phone transactions and in-branch service. So whether you prefer to manage your account at home or in-person, the Bank of Melbourne Maxi Saver account caters for both.  

To get access to the Maxi Saver account, you’ll need to have a Bank of Melbourne everyday transaction account linked and a minimum deposit of at least $1.
