Key features

The Bank of Melbourne Incentive Saver Account really lives up to its name, with an introductory interest rate of up to 5.15% p.a for the first three months (on balances under $250,000), if you meet the bonus criteria and open the account online. After the first three months, the interest rate on the Incentive Saver Account drops down to 5.00% p.a. for balances up to $250,000.

This savings account usually has a base rate of 1.85% p.a., but includes a bonus rate of 3.30% p.a. if you grow your balance by at least $50 per month (unless you're under the age of 21, in which case you'll simply need to increase it by $0.01). The extra 0.10% p.a. is an additional bonus rate offered for the first three months for new customers who open their account online. 

Unlike many savings accounts, the Bank of Melbourne Incentive Saver also comes with ATM access, with unlimited free transactions at network ATMs (which also includes BankSA, St George and Westpac).

The savings account also comes with no fees except for an overdrawn fee. So, that's no upfront fees when opening the account, no ongoing account-keeping fees and no sneaky fees for phone or internet banking. The only money coming out of this account is the money you take out of it.

You’re also able to bank the way you like with the Bank of Melbourne Incentive Saver Account, whether this is via internet, phone or in-branch. It also lets you connect your account with BPAY.
