Grow Saver |
With a solid maximum interest rate of up to 2.30%, relatively simple monthly requirements and no monthly fee, the Grow Saver account from Virgin Money could offer a safe place for Aussie savers to stash and build their savings balance.
Virgin Money’s Grow Saver account offers savers the ability to earn a maximum ongoing rate of up to 2.30% as long as they make at least one deposit into the account each month and make a maximum of one withdrawal and enable the Lock Saver Feature. If those monthly requirements aren’t met, savers will only receive the much lower base rate of 0.05%. The max rate is made up of the base rate of 0.05% p.a. plus the bonus rate of 1.95% p.a. and the notice rate of 0.30% p.a.
There’s no minimum or maximum balance and, like most savings accounts, there’s no account monthly fee. Plus you can even earn points with Virgin Money's rewards program. There are a few ways to do this including through Virgin Money's partners (some of these are: The Iconic, HelloFresh and Menulog) or by booking a hotel through the Virgin Money app. For eligible bookings, the latter one will earn you around 5 Virgin Money Points per $1 spent.
If you’re putting money away for something specific like a house deposit or a holiday, you’ll also be able to keep track of it through Virgin Money’s banking app where you’ll be able to set up to nine different personalised savings goals.
And unlike some savings accounts, the Grow Saver is a standalone account, so there’s no transaction account attached to it. You don’t have to have an existing Virgin Money account to use it though, as you’ll be able to make free, unlimited deposits and withdrawals into the Grow Saver from external accounts.
The Grow Saver account could be an option worth considering for those wanting a standalone savings account with a decent ongoing bonus rate that doesn’t come with any particularly tricky monthly requirements. It’s available to Australian citizens and residents aged 14 and above, and it can also be opened as a joint account.
Just remember that you’ll need to meet the monthly deposit and withdrawal requirements along with having the Lock Saver Feature in order to get the maximum rate. Alternatively, if you’re looking for an even higher interest rate you may be interested in Virgin Money’s Boost Saver account.
