Base interest rate

Our verdict

Earn up to 5% p.a. on your savings and access your money whenever you need it.

This account offers a maximum bonus rate of 5% which is really competitive today’s market. Not only does this account offer an attractive rate, but it’s also quite easy to get it.

The monthly deposit required to earn bonus interest with this account is just $20. In comparison, other bonus savings accounts require you to deposit $1000 or more per month. You’re also required to make five or more Visa Debit card transactions from your linked MyState transaction account each month to earn the bonus interest. There’s no set amount you need to spend to meet this requirement, so it could be as simple as buying five coffees in the month or buying five bus or train tickets.

Make sure you can meet the bonus rate conditions, because if you don’t one month you’ll earn the low base rate of just 0.05%. You’ll be eligible for the bonus interest rate the following month, though.

You’re also permitted to make as many withdrawals from your savings as you need to while still being eligible for the bonus interest. However, don’t fall into the trap of withdrawing from your savings just because you can. The less money you keep in your account, the less interest you’ll earn.

Pros

  • Up to 5.00% interest on your savings.
  • Small monthly deposit requirement of just $20 to earn the bonus interest.
  • Make withdrawals and still be eligible to earn the bonus interest.
  • Google Pay and Apple Pay available on linked MyState transaction account.

Cons

  • Must make at least five or more Visa Debit card transactions from your linked transaction account to earn the bonus interest.

A number of banking institutions are now primarily online banking platforms, but do they offer the ability to deposit cash into accounts at all. If they do , how do you go about it ?
