Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CommBank) is Australia’s largest retail bank and one of the Big Four. It offers a wide range of financial products and services from banking to loans, investing and insurance.
For savers, CommBank provides several savings account options, including the NetBank Saver, Goal Saver, YouthSaver and Pensioner Security Account.
High introductory rate of 4.90% p.a. for first 5 months
No monthly account fees
Easy online application process
Unlimited free transfers to linked CommBank transaction account
Requires linking to a CommBank transaction account
The rate drops significantly after the introductory period
CommBank's NetBank Saver could be an attractive option for those looking to boost their cash in the short term, thanks to the 4.90% p.a. variable introductory rate for the first five months. However, savers should be aware that the rate drops to 2.15% p.a. after this period, which is less compared to some other providers available.
One of the advantages of the NetBank Saver is its integration with CommBank's extensive banking network. If you're already a CommBank customer, opening and managing this account could be very convenient. The absence of monthly fees and the ability to make unlimited free transfers to your linked CommBank transaction account add to its appeal.
It's worth noting that you'll need to link the NetBank Saver to an eligible CommBank transaction account. If you don't already have one, a Smart Access account will be automatically opened for you. This Smart Access account comes with a $4 monthly account-keeping fee, although the fee can be waived if you meet certain conditions, such as depositing at least $2,000 each month or if you're under 30 years old.
For long-term savers, it might be worth considering CommBank's other savings products such as the Goal Saver, or comparing savings account rates with other providers after the introductory period ends.

The commonwealth bank staff are very helpful when I speak to them if I have something that concerns me ,like transactions.
Always helpful
Coombank is easy and convenient to use and stores your assets securely
Overall it is a good bank however over the years there has been a few incidents of them raising fees. The customer service is good and they work to keep customers from changing banks but the benefits seem to disappear quite quickly if customers don't consistantly call every month to ensure the benefits aren't randomly cut.
The staff are always friendly and helpful
