Your selected savings accounts
NAB is one of Australia’s ‘big four banks’, offering savings account options that cater to different needs. Whether you’re looking to build an emergency fund, save for a big purchase, or want somewhere to stash investment funds, NAB has something to fit the bill.
Their offerings include the NAB Reward Saver, which rewards you for regular deposits; the NAB iSaver, offering greater flexibility for easy access to your funds; and the Cash Manager account, to help keep everydays savings separate from your investing capital.
Competitive interest rate that rewards regular saving
No minimum balance required
No monthly account-keeping fees
Interest calculated daily and paid monthly
Highest rate only applies when you make a deposit each month
Bonus interest forfeited if you make a withdrawal
The NAB Reward Saver can earn you up to 5.00% interest. To earn the highest rate you must make a deposit of more than $1 on or before the second last banking day of each month and refrain from making any withdrawals. Interest is calculated daily and paid monthly, and there’s no minimum balance requirement.
If you’re hunting for better interest rates, you might find some stronger options out there that let you access your cash more freely. But if you already have a NAB account and want to keep everything in one place, opening a savings account could be a good option.
Just be smart about what you’re putting in - only deposit money you won’t need to touch often. If you do withdraw, you could end up earning significantly less interest than the highest variable rate. If you tend to splurge on impulse buys, the strict withdrawal rules might actually help you resist the temptation to spend and keep your savings safe.
As is the policy of many other banks, you’ll need to link your savings account to an NAB everyday transaction account. However, this does allow for speedy and reliable internal transfers.

NAB has the best Savings Interest rates and features amongst the Major Banks in Australia and I would highly recommend NAB.

I HAVE BEEN HAPPY WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT NAB
All NAB Bank experiences from visiting a branch to online banking is smooth, easy, trustworthy, supportive and they are very reliable. There’s nothing they should be worried about because everything is always sorted out so quick.
I have been with NAB all my life and have never had any concerns, always a great experience. I even have had mates change over from other banks they have had issues with to NAB and they love it too.
Nab is a good bank for 1 of the big four banks. It could improve a bit by offering more products for pensioners and low income earners
