How can I find the best bank account with Mozo?

When it comes to picking the best bank account there are so many things to weigh up, from choosing whether to go for a traditional or online account to finding one with no ATM or monthly account fees. And with so many types of bank accounts on offer from a range of banks, comparing them can prove a hard ask.

That’s where Mozo’s bank account comparison table below can help out. By listing a range of accounts all in the one place you’ll be able to easily compare accounts side by side based on features such as account fees, interest rates and even whether the account is compatible with digital payment options like Apple, Google and Samsung Pay.

Is the interest rate on a bank account important?

It’s always nice to be earning as much interest on your money as possible, but the vast majority of bank accounts in Australia have relatively low interest rates. While that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t weigh up interest rates when comparing bank accounts, many Aussies choose to stash the bulk of their savings in a savings account with a higher interest rate.

If you are interested in comparing some of the bank accounts with the best interest rates around, check out the offers in the tables below or click the green ‘Compare more bank accounts’ button further down and refine your search by interest rate to see even more offers.

What is an online bank account?

Online bank accounts are an increasingly popular type of bank account for many Australians. Instead of visiting a branch and conducting your banking business face to face, online bank accounts allow Aussies can use their smartphones or laptops to check their balances, transfer money and make repayments conveniently through a website or banking app.

Which banks have digital payment options?

Love the idea of ditching your wallet and paying for everything with your phone? It’s no longer a dream, with digital wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay and wearable payment options like Fitbit and Garmin making it easier than ever for Aussies to leave their physical cards and cash at home.

And Mozo makes it easy to find out whether or not a bank account has the digital payment option of your choice. Just have a look under ‘Payment Options’ in the different bank accounts below.

Making a quick and easy bank account comparison

Whether you're looking for low fee accounts, online accounts or high interest accounts, Mozo can guide you through the Australian banking maze.

Our database lets you quickly compare bank accounts throughout Australia by fees and features, and covers hundreds of accounts from major banks, regional banks and credit unions.

You can also read reviews from real customers around Australia to get the inside story on everything from bank fees to customer service.

Before you compare bank accounts (also known as transaction accounts), it helps to make a quick list of the features and access what you need for your day-to-day banking.

Questions to ask include: How many transactions do you make each month? Do you want extras like a debit card or a cheque book? Do you require internet banking?

To make a quick and easy transaction account comparison, our nifty comparison tools let you filter Australian accounts by your desired features to help you find the best bank accounts for your needs. You can shortlist and compare your selection side-by-side.

Finding the right bank account

If you make a large number of ATM and EFTPOS transactions each month, compare bank accounts that give you unlimited electronic transactions for one low monthly fee. These days some accounts even offer unlimited transactions with no monthly fees. If you want to make purchases online also think about an account with a debit card attached.

Those who intend to maintain a high account balance from month to month should consider a high interest bank account that pays a good interest on your money, while still giving you all the convenience of a regular everyday transaction account.

With Mozo you can compare bank accounts Australia wide by interest rate, monthly account fee, monthly free transactions and more.

Where can I find a calculator to help with budgeting and tax? 

The key to a healthy bank balance is sticking to a budget. If you want some help working out how much you spend and how much you should have left over each month, try our handy budget calculator.

And if you are wondering if the tax man is playing fair, try our income tax calculator to work out whether you're paying too much or too little tax.

After much speculation and fanfare, the New Payments Platform (NPP) has officially launched in Australia, ushering in what could be a number of momentous changes to the way Australian consumers and businesses do their banking.
What happens if I transfer money to the wrong bank account?

Long gone are the days when you had to repay money with cash or by whipping out your cheque book, because the invention and uptake of online bank accounts has made everything from transferring money to friends and family to paying rent and bills a breeze.
Fee-free bank accounts

A fee-free bank account can actually mean multiple things.

It actually just takes a few minutes and can be done online or at a local branch of a bank, credit union or building society, depending on whatever works best for you.
Online accounts

Gone are the days when you needed to go over specially to your local branch to deposit cash, transfer money, check your account balance and pay off your credit card. Online banking makes your financial life simpler by letting you perform all of these actions with just one tap on your smartphone, computer or tablet.
