If you’re looking for a simple place to stash your cash AMP Saver Account just might do the trick. You’ll be able to earn an ongoing variable bonus rate of 1.25% p.a. with this account as long as you deposit $250 per month, plus you won't have to worry about paying any pesky ongoing account keeping fees.
With the AMP Saver Account, customers can earn up to 1.25% p.a. in interest on the first $250,000 of their account balance - a 0.10% p.a. standard variable rate, plus a variable bonus of 1.15% p.a. if you deposit at least $250 in your account per month. Interest is earned on your account balance in the month following each eligible deposit and will be paid on the first day of the month after that. Just beware that for any savings above $250,000, your rate will drop down to the 0.10% p.a. standard variable rate.
Need access to your cash right now? Or have an urgent bill that needs paying? The AMP Saver Account gives you the flexibility to move your money around with unlimited free transactions from your mobile banking app, via the internet or over the phone, and if you connect your AMP Saver Account to an AMP Bank everyday transaction account like the AMP Bank Access Account you'll also get access to a Visa Debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and rebated ATM fees.
The AMP Saver Account could be a great pick for committed savers who can keep the minimum deposit amount each month. This might also be a winner for savers who require flexible access to their funds and will take advantage of the unlimited deposits and withdrawals features.
Bear in mind, with this account there is no branch or ATM access.

Three days ago (Saturday) I applied online for a business saver account. Yesterday (Monday) mailed by express post application form & certified ID documents (their instruction was to mail them back to a reply paid address (surely they didn't mean for me to mail them back in a plain envelope? Today (Tuesday) I receive an email starting with Hi, (no title, no name, no nothing) asking a question and saying they haven't received my certified ID copies - oh please, should I have flown up and delivered them by hand? Many years I worked for AMP - sad to see this motley email.

Opened in mid March 2020 with offer of 2.26% for 4 months, but interest paid in April 2020 was only 2.11%. When queried I was told the rate had dropped to 2.11%. However, in April 2020 AMP upgraded the offer to new customers to be 2.26% again, but this time for 6 months. Terrible treatment of a new customer. Avoid them.

I opened 2 x Savings accounts, one for my wife and myself. The bonus 4 months interest rate was up on the 14th March 2020. I contacted them on the 14.03.20 asking to withdraw my money. They informed me that I can’t do that myself only they could transfer it to another bank and it would take 3 business days (earning little interest). So that meant for 3 days I didn’t receive any interest on a considerable amount of money. 4 days had passed still no money transferred back to my regular bank. Contacted them again, they said they tried to ring me which was a lie as we all know mobiles phones show call history. Then they said they tried to email me, again another lie as surprise surprise no email. After demanding my money as it is only earning minimal interest they said it will be another 3 business days. That will make 8 days to withdraw my funds. We are in a pandemic with Coronavirus and I need money to live on. DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE I MADE AND BANK WITH AMP.

No Osko/instant transfers to everyday account when banks such as NAB/Westpac, etc. have it. Seems odd not to have it in this day and age.

Different people telling me different things. They set up a withdrawal limit without my knowledge. When wanting to withdraw all of my funds they definitely did not make it easy, had to jump through so many hoops to get this done. I would not recommend them to anyone.
