In the era of low interest rates, you might think there are better things to do with your cash, than put it in a bank. But a bank is still considered the safest place for your money. And you might be surprised to learn that banks, and the accounts they offer have come a long way.
Whatever your aims, Mozo, has the simple tools you need to compare accounts from up to 70 banks. As we move towards a cashless economy, everyday transaction accounts with online banking and digital payment options are becoming more than just a convenience - they are essential.
Many banks now offer fee-free accounts that can save you plenty if you make lots of transactions. And, if you travel regularly, there are also savings to be made with a bank account that waives international ATM and transaction fees.
Even if interest rates are super low, you can still boost your savings with accounts that reward you for making regular deposits, as long as you can avoid the temptation to make withdrawals for that special something you probably don’t really need.
If your best option is to lock your money away for a while, you can amp up your interest with a term deposit for a variety of amounts over different periods.
Head to Mozo.com.au to compare bank accounts and find a great way to manage and grow your money.
The term ‘bank account’ usually refers to a standard transaction account used to store money. Money can either be deposited as cash or transferred electronically from another account.
Similarly a bank account usually comes with a card that can be used to withdraw cash from an ATM or make EFTPOS payments with. As the economy has been increasingly digitised, most bank account providers also offer everyday transaction accounts as online apps.
Accounts can come bundled together with, or as a requirement to use, certain savings accounts.
Transaction accounts (also known as everyday accounts) are bank accounts that are intended for spending and receiving income. These accounts are also used for managing cash and transferring funds to savings accounts and term deposits.
Banking has come a long way in recent years and apps and digital wallets are now very popular among Australian consumers.
These accounts allow you to access your bank account from your smartphone and give you access to many cool features like spending, tracking and money management alerts that you don't get with regular online banking.
It has also become extremely popular to pay with things via digital wallets like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay rather than using the physical card that you get issued with when you sign up for a new bank account.
You can compare bank accounts by checking out some of the features of bank accounts, which include:
ATM network - does the bank have a wide ATM network?
Banking app - how useful is the banking app? Does it come with a lot of benefits?
Overseas access - can the account be accessed overseas?
You should also weigh up any extra fees, such as:
International fees - are there any high international fees associated with the account? What is the foreign exchange commission?
Regular fees - does the bank charge a monthly account keeping fee?
You can also check out our best bank accounts page for our Mozo Experts Choice Awards and editor picks. Alternatively, you can compare some of the providers in the table above.
You’ll need to meet the eligibility criteria—often this means you should be at least 18, an Australian resident, and using the account for personal purposes. Then, choose a suitable account based on your needs. Once decided, you can either open the account online or at a local branch. Then, you'll need to provide identification documents like a driver's license or passport. After that, you’re all set.
Most bank accounts provide a debit card for withdrawals and purchases. Many banks also now offer digital wallet options like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay, allowing for cardless payments. You can compare accounts with debit cards using comparison tables, and check mobile payment guides to see which banks support digital wallets.
To maintain a healthy bank balance, use a budget calculator to track spending and savings. An income tax calculator can help ensure you're paying the correct amount of tax. For personal accounts, explore transaction account options. If you need a business account, check out our Business Bank Accounts.
To cancel a transaction from your bank account, contact your bank immediately with the transaction details. They'll guide you through their specific cancellation process, but keep in mind that some transactions can't be reversed. Check your bank's policies for more information on their cancellation procedures.
A transaction account that has low (or no fees) and has a good app for ease of access is usually a good choice.
I have been with the Commonwealth Bank for sometime and have been satisfied with their services up until the last 18 months. Their bank branches are closing locally and the remaining one has limited opening hours which makes it difficult to resolve issues when you work and study full time. They have also removed most of their ATMs locally which puts additional cost pressures if you need to withdraw cash and are charged by non Commonwealth bank organisations.

I have banked with St George Bank Since it first started. Originally I opened my first bank account at 15, with Advanced Bank, when i started my first job. In my 20s they changed to St George Bank. St George Bank has looked after myself and my money for aprx 45years and I have never been let down or overcharged. I couldnt think of a reason to ever change.

Closed down all of the local branches meaning we are unable to visit in person for any transactions. Only select atm accept deposits, even though they say we can use the Commonwealth Banks ATMs for free, I'm yet to do this successfully. The rewards scheme attached to our credit card was changed last year, meaning our annual bonus rewards was removed. We are charged $395 a year to have our home loan with them, yet they are unable to tell us how this is benefitting us.
