Our verdict

Earn an ongoing bonus interest rate of up to 4.65% p.a. on balances up to $100,000.

The BCU Bank Boss Saver account offers a total variable bonus interest rate of 4.65% p.a. when you deposit $500 a month, and make at least 5 card purchases from your linked BCU Bank Access Account each month. You can earn the bonus interest rate on balances up to $100,000.

Pros

Linked access account benefits - Earn bonus interest, make everyday transactions, and use Pay&Save to round up purchases automatically.

Cons

Linked account dependency - You need both a Boss Saver and Access Account to qualify for bonus interest.
Individual accounts only - Not available for joint accounts, which limits options for couples or shared savings goals.

Key features

Ongoing variable rate of up to 4.65% p.a.

This account offers a total, ongoing variable rate of up to 4.65% p.a. on balances up to $100,000 when the account conditions are met (outlined below). This is made up of a standard variable rate of 0.2% p.a. and a bonus variable rate of 4.45% p.a.

Conditions for bonus interest

To earn the full bonus rate you must deposit $500 a month from an external account, and make at least 5 card purchases from your linked BCU Bank Access Account each month. If you don't meet the account criteria one month you'll earn the standard variable rate for that month.

You can make withdrawals.

As long as you deposit $500 a month and make 5+ card transactions a month, you can make withdrawals from your savings and still earn bonus interest. There is no requirement that your account balance needs to grow each month.

Link to a BCU Bank Access Account

You will get both a BCU Bank Boss Saver and BCU Bank Access Account when you open this account. These two accounts are linked, allowing you to easily transfer money from your Access Account into your savings.

The Access Account has no monthly or ongoing fees, and comes with a Visa Debit card to access your money.

Savings round up tool.

You can enable Pay&Save, which is BCU Bank's savings round up tool that rounds up your purchases from your Access Account to the nearest dollar amount and adds it into your savings. It's a way to help you save automatically on your day-to-day spending.

No ongoing account fees.

There are no monthly or ongoing account fees with the BCU Bank Boss Saver or the BCU Bank Access Account.

Government guarantee.

Your deposit up to $250,000 in a BCU Bank account is covered by the Australian Government's Financial Claims Scheme. Note this is up to $250,000 per account holder, not per account, so it's a combined total across all your BCU Bank accounts.
