Interest rate of 1.05%
The Business Access Saver offers a variable interest rate on your savings of 1.05%, allowing you to earn some extra cash just for saving some.
Interest calculated daily
Your interest is calculated daily based on the account balance and earnings deposited into the account at the start of the following month.
No monthly fees
You will not be charged any account keeping or other monthly fee with the Business Access Saver, but be mindful that your linked account may require ongoing monthly payments to maintain.
No minimum balance
You will not be required to maintain a minimum balance in the Business Access Saver account, so you can get started right away.
Linked transaction account available
A linked business transaction account through BankSA is necessary in order to transfer money into and out of your Business Access Saver. Both accounts must be held in same business name.
Easy access to your account and unlimited transactions
Keep an eye on your account and make transfers over the phone, online or with your mobile device. These services all provide you with free unlimited transactions. You can also have teller assistance at a BankSA branch four times in a month, but if you exceed that limit you will be charged a fee per transaction.
Mobile banking app available
After signing up for the BankSA online banking feature, you can download the free app onto your mobile device from Google play or the App Store. This feature allows you to control your business savings from a mobile phone or tablet and find the nearest branch, check your balance and make transfers. Login using a custom four digit passcode or if you have a compatible iPhone using iOS8, you can login to your account with a fingerprint check.

Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
