With the Suncorp Growth Saver Account, strict savers are rewarded with a special 1.50% p.a. interest rate on your savings when you grow your account's net balance by at least $200 each month (excluding any interest earned) and make no more than one withdrawal in the month. Plus, the account comes with no regular account keeping fees and a handy mobile app, so you’ll be able to grow your savings with ease in no time.
The Suncorp Growth Saver Account rewards savers with a maximum interest rate of 1.50% p.a. for balances from $0 as long they meet the minimum account conditions each month.
To make sure you get your hands on the monthly bonus interest, you'll have to grow your net balance by $200 or more (not counting interest) and have made no more than one withdrawal in the calendar month. That means that on the last day of the month, your closing balance needs to be at least $200 more than it was on the last day of the previous month. Got it?
Keep in mind, interest earned in the calendar month won't count towards the balance growth requirement for the bonus interest. If you don’t meet the requirements one month, you still be able to qualify for the next, but try your best to meet them - if you don't, the interest rate drops to a much less enticing 0.10% p.a.
Transactions with the Suncorp Growth Saver Account are made easy through unlimited free internet, phone banking and branch deposits. And best of all, this account also has no monthly account keeping fees and no minimum balances, so your savings won’t be eaten up.
If you're serious about reaching your savings goals and are committed to growing your savings stash by at least $200 a month, then the Suncorp Growth Saver Account and its 1.50% p.a. interest rate might be a good choice for you.
The additional 1.40% of interest only applies if you meet the monthly conditions by growing your net balance by $200 or more each month and not making more than one withdrawal. interest doesn't count towards this amount either. So, keep in mind that if you don't meet these conditions, you'll only get the 0.10% p.a. standard interest rate, so this might be a good pick for the super dedicated savers.

Bonus interest went from 1.8% to 1.6% in the space of a month or two with several changes. No real information pushed through to the customer about this and have to go out of you way to find. Long term Suncorp customer but will put my savings back with another bank.

Was caught out not getting my bonus interest of $600 because I didn't replace the money withdrawn with at least $200 more by the end of the month. Thought you had to make 1 deposit a month and 1 withdrawal to get the bonus. Didn't realize the balance at the end of the month had to be $200 higher than at the beginning. Wasn't well explained to me when we signed up. An expensive lesson.
