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?

    Can a term deposit be in joint names and is there a limit $ on the government bank guarantee

      AvatarFinder
      AlisonMay 10, 2023Finder

      Hi, yes term deposits can be held in joint names. The government guarantee covers $250k per person, per ADI. So If you had a joint account with 2 account holders, both account holders would be covered for up to $250k each.
