Key features

Special cashback offer: Customers who link their Incentive Saver and Complete Freedom transaction accounts could get $30 cashback if they deposit $100 into their savings within 50 days (if you already have one of those accounts) or 30 days (if you're opening both accounts for the first time). T&Cs apply. 

The St George Incentive Saver Account really lives up to its name, with an introductory interest rate of up to 5.25% p.a for the first three months (on balances under $250,000), if you meet the bonus criteria. After the first three months, the interest rate on the Incentive Saver Account drops down to 5.15% p.a. 

This savings account usually has a base rate of 1.85% p.a., but includes a bonus rate of 3.30% p.a. if you grow your balance by at least $50 per month (unless you're under the age of 21, in which case you'll simply need to increase it by $0.01). The extra 0.10% p.a. is an additional bonus rate offered for the first three months for new customers who open their account online. 

With this savings account, you’ll enjoy zero account-keeping fees and unlimited phone and internet transactions, so you’re free to move your cash around as much as you’d like! Your interest will be paid out monthly and you won’t even need to make a deposit to open the account.
