Our verdict
Australian Unity's Freedom Saver offers a strong interest rate with no withdrawal and deposit conditions, plus zero monthly fees.
The Australian Unity Freedom Saver account has one of the higher ongoing interest rates on the market. And on top of that it has no monthly account fees and no withdrawal or deposit conditions. This means you can earn the maximum interest rate just by putting your savings in the account.
The only downside is that the interest rate decreases for higher balances. So any money you put there above $50,000 earns interest at a lower rate.
Pros
-
Competitive interest rate
-
No deposit or withdrawal conditions
-
No monthly fees
Cons
-
The maximum interest rate only applies to the first $50,000
