If you need a place to stash your cash for while, meet the Bonus Saver by Bank Australia. With this account the standard rate gets boosted to 4.75% p.a. when you deposit $100 into your account every month and make no withdrawals. However, if the bonus conditions aren't met, you will earn the standard rate of 0.10% p.a.

You'll also be able to access the Bonus Saver account on your phone through the 2019 Mozo Experts Choice Excellent Banking App award-winning Bank Australia app

Key features

The Bonus Saver by Bank Australia has all the standard savings account features you'll need. To start with, it doesn’t cost a cent to open the account and there are no ongoing fees, plus there is a 4.55% bonus interest rate for balances up to $250,000. 

Just keep in mind, if you don’t meet the conditions of depositing $100 into the account each month and making no monthly withdrawals, the standard interest rate will drop to a low 0.10%.

The bonus interest rates for balances over $250,000 are:

  • $250,001 to $500,000: 4.65% p.a. 
  • $500,001 to $1,000,000: 4.55% p.a. 
  • Over $1,000,001: 4.45% p.a. 

If you like to do your banking face to face, also be mindful you’ll be charged $2.50 for dipping into your savings over the counter at a Bank Australia branch. That’s why it’s cheaper and more convenient to manage your account elsewhere such as through the internet banking portal or over the phone. When it comes to topping up your Bonus Saver account, you can also do it via BPay.

Any catches

If you forget to make that monthly $100 deposit or withdraw funds, you’ll miss out on accruing interest at the higher rate, until you take the opportunity and do it the following month. The special interest rate available also starts to drop the higher your balance goes above $250,000.
