Has your savings rate plummeted after the RBA cut? Check out these hot offers

In some not so great news for your savings stash, the RBA rate cut could see already low interest rates on savings accounts get even lower. If your bank follows the RBA and cuts interest rates by 0.25%, you could be earning a not so nice looking interest on your savings stash.

So far, 20 providers in our database have already cut rates for savers, including the likes of ING, Commonwealth Bank, AMP and Greater Bank. The average ongoing savings account rate is now just 1.49%, while the average special savings rate for those willing to meet a few conditions clock in at 2.28%.*
