There’s often not a lot of difference between bank accounts, but having a special interest rate of 0.05% is certainly one way to stand out. With the 2022 Mozo Experts Choice Award-winning Suncorp Everyday Options Student account, there aren't any upfront or ongoing fees to watch out for and there are a few cost-friendly features for travellers. To get access to the Suncorp Everyday Options Student account you will (as the name implies) need to be a full time student though.
If you’re a full-time student deciding between stashing your cash in paper bag under your bed or putting it in a bank, we suggest the latter. One account you may want to consider is the Suncorp Everyday Options Student account.
This account comes with a stellar 0.05% interest rate. Just keep in mind that to qualify for this special rate you’ll need to make sure you transfer money from your main account into one of the nine linked Everyday Options sub-accounts.
A bumper interest rate on a everyday bank account? Well, surely the account has fees? Nope, not only can you earn a little extra through interest, but you won’t be losing any money each month by having to pay account fees.
The account also allows you to use and access your money in a number of ways: in-branch, over the phone, on the internet and more, all for free. You can even use the attached Visa Debit Card to withdraw money from ATMs abroad (without any fees from Suncorp) and to make international purchases (without foreign exchange commission).
No need to overthink this one, students are going to benefit from this account most; as well as being the only ones who can get access to it - you’ll need to show your student card each year to keep the account open.
While the account comes with a lot of features, it currently doesn't support Samsung Pay.
