"Only if your intention is get a slightly higher rate for a few months, the Netsaver is better than the Goalsaver. You won't have to meet any conditions to get the bonus interest (grow balance, make a deposit), but you are only getting it for the first 5 months. I prefer the Goalsaver account."

How the Finder Score helps you find a better savings account

The Finder Score is a simple score out of 10. The higher a savings account's score, the better we think it is for the average customer.

We score each savings account in our database of hundreds based on a data-driven methodology with 2 main criteria: Does the account offer a high interest rate? And is it easy for savers to actually earn that rate?

Does this mean I can hold only a maximum amount of $5 million in this account? Or does it mean I can deposit a larger amount but only $5 will be eligible for the bonus interest rate?

Thanks!

Hi Jack,


I’m unable to answer this question by looking at Commbank’s website or the PDS. I suggest contacting the bank directly to clarify.

Why’s CommBank only giving me like $300 as interest on something that’s supposed to be like $10k + interest based on the amount and the netsaver rate… something very fishy and thinking of escalating this. Something isn’t right. it’s got to be looked into 😕

Hi Mia,


We’re not licenced to provide personal advice, so we recommend you contact CommBank directly to escalate your enquiry.


A note that the interest rate of 4.75% applies only for the first 5 months as a bonus, then it reverts to 2.2%.


Also based on an interest rate of 4.75%, to earn $10,000 per month in interest, you would need to deposit around $2.5 million. Hope this helps.

After the 5 month bonus interest period ends can I negotiate a better variable rate than the 2.2%

Hi Jenny,

You’d need to speak to CommBank directly about negotiating the variable rate.

Good luck!

I currently have a net bank saver that I had for several years, can I close it and open a new account or am I better off closing it and moving to another bank with a similar offer
