Mozo Review Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver Review
Last updated: 23 July 2019.
What's hot:
2.10% p.a. bonus interest
No monthly account fee
Dollarmites club option (for under 12's)
What's not:
0.15% p.a. standard interest rate
Mozo snapshot:
Get your child off to the right start with the Commonwealth Youth Saver. Children under 12 will receive the added benefits that make saving fun with the Dollarmites club option, and for the older ones they'll be more than happy with an ongoing bonus interest rate of 2.10%.
Key features:
To make sure your child is receiving that 2.10% bonus interest rate and not the low 0.30% standard interest rate you'll have to make at least one deposit and no withdrawals every month. Set up a regular savings plan, even if it's only $5 a month, so your child will receive the higher interest rate. There's also no monthly account fee, no withdrawal fees and a 24/7 online and over the phone banking option.
The Commonwealth Youth Saver is available for young savers under 18 but for children under 14 they will need parental approval. Parents and guardians who have a Netbank account can apply online for children under 14. All you need is your child's birth certificate and your Netbank logon details. You won't have to enter a branch and the Commonwealth Youth Saver will be activated within 3 days.
Who it's good for:
The Commonwealth Youth Saver is a great high interest savings account for kids and young adults.
Any catches?
We wouldn't recommend using the Commonwealth Youth Saver as a transaction account because your child will lose the 2.10% p.a bonus interest rate with any withdrawals.

I’ve been with Commonwealth since I was 16 and I have never once had an issue or even considered changing banks. I think they have a good system, good deposit and withdrawal methods, they’re up to date and they give a notice whenever the bank is going to be down. More than happy with commonwealth bank.

About Commonwealth Bank
The Commonwealth Bank might be one of Australia's oldest and largest banks, but lately it's determined to do things differently. The Commonwealth Bank reckons it's focusing more on customer service and earning your business rather than counting on it. If you like the sound of that, then check out the Commonwealth Bank's wide range of personal banking products, including term deposits, savings accounts, credit cards, home loans and personal loans.
