Mozo Review   Bankwest Hero Saver Review

Last updated: 16 November 2018.

What's hot:

  • 2.60% p.a. bonus variable Hero Rate

  • No account maintenance or transaction fees

What's not:

  • Bonus Hero Rate only applicable for balances up to $250,000

Mozo snapshot:

The Bankwest Hero Saver is a welcome addition to the market for Australia's savers with its ongoing variable bonus Hero Rate of 2.6% p.a if you make a deposit of at least $200 (excludes interest) or more a month and don't make any withdrawals. Savers will also be happy to learn that the Hero Saver has no account maintenance or transaction fees.

Key features:

The Bankwest Hero Saver is an online only savings account which is designed to help reach your savings goals sooner by incentivising you to save each month. You'll need to make a deposit of at least $200 a month (excludes interest) and make no withdrawals in the month to get the variable 2.6% p.a. Hero Rate. There is no minimum account balance but the bonus rate is only available for deposits up to $250,000. 

If you make a withdrawal or don't meet the monthly deposit conditions you'll receive the standard variable rate of 0.01% but it doesn't mean the end of the bonus Hero Rate forever. The next month you meet the conditions your rate will jump up again to the bonus rate of 2.6% p.a. to get your savings back on track.

You can set up automatic payments into this account and use the online and phone banking which is available 24/7 to access and manage your money.

Who it's good for:

The Bankwest Hero Saver is a great account for those who want an incentive to not dip into their savings and know that they are getting rewarded with a high variable rate each month they stick to their savings goals. 

Any catches?

With no fees and a top rate, there is not much to find at fault with the Bankwest Hero Saver other than the bonus rate cap of $250,000 if you have some serious cash to put away.

    I like this bank because the customer service is very good. However in terms of interests rates on my savings accounts, while the standard rate is a bit higher than other banks, It would be more beneficial for me to jump around different savings accounts that have high introductory interest rates. Joining Bankwest guarantees that you will get amazing customer service if that is what you really value from a bank.
