Mozo Review   Bank Australia Bonus Saver Review

Last updated: 13 September 2019.

What's hot:

  • 2019 Mozo Experts Choice Excellent Banking App

  • 2.15% special rate (Ts and Cs apply)

  • Unlimited phone and internet transactions

What's not:

  • Rate drops to 0.10% if special rate conditions aren’t met

  • $2.50 fee when you withdraw funds from a branch

Mozo snapshot:

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 2.15% when you deposit $100 into your account every month and make no withdrawals, it's too easy. 

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 a lot of the features you want in a savings account. To start with, it doesn’t cost a cent to open the account and there are no ongoing fees, plus it has a 2.15% special interest rate.

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%.

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.

Who it's good for:

Bank Australia's Bonus Saver could be the perfect account for someone who wants to make small deposits and still receive a bonus rate. 

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.
