Plenty of savings accounts come with criteria you’re required to meet in order to maintain the highest interest rate, but with the Bank of Sydney BOS Saver you won’t have to worry about any of that when you have a balance of up to $5,000,000. That could make it a set-and-forget option worth looking at for savers with a larger balance.
The Bank of Sydney BOS Saver is really built for savers with an established savings balance, as it offers an interest rate of 4.25% for balances up to $5,000,000.
While many savings accounts require savers to meet certain conditions each month to get the same competitive interest rate, the BOS Saver isn't one of them, because you won’t need to jump through any hoops to earn an interest rate as long as you meet the deposit requirement.
When signing up, new customers will be asked to provide their contact details, an Australian driver’s license or passport, and Tax File Number. If you’re an existing customer, however, you’ll just need to have your contact details and your Bank of Sydney Transaction Account Number handy.
When you sign up, you'll also get a Bank of Sydney transaction account, allowing you to access your savings as needed. You’ll be able to make unlimited free transactions between your linked transaction account, but when it comes to making over the counter deposits or withdrawals, a $5 fee will apply.
The Bank of Sydney BOS Saver could suit anyone who's looking for an account that isn’t bogged down by requirements like monthly minimum deposits and withdrawal limits.
To open a BOS Saver account you’ll need a minimum balance of $1,000. Something to keep in mind.
