Our verdict
Do you want an everyday bank account that rewards you as well as the Defence community?
This is one of only a few transaction accounts that offer cashback on purchases. You can earn 1% cashback on tap and go purchases under $100, up to the value of $25 a month.
To get this cashback perk you need to deposit $2,000 per month. When you deposit $2,000 a month you’ll also get the $4 account keeping fee waived.
The cashback offer is a cool perk, but make sure you don’t fall into the trap of spending just to get the cashback.
