NAB iSaver Account Review
- Maximum variable rate
- 5.00% p.a.
- Base interest rate
- 2%p.a.
Our verdict
Earn up to 5.00% p.a. for 4 months with this flexible savings account from NAB.
This account offers a variable rate of up to 5.00% p.a. for the first 4 months for balances up to $20,000,000 if you have not held a NAB iSaver in the last 12 months. The good thing about this account is that there are no deposit conditions to meet to earn interest, and you can make withdrawals at any time through your NAB transaction account while still earning interest.
After the introductory period ends your interest rate will revert to the standard variable rate of up to 2.00% p.a. This rate is lower than some other bonus savings accounts in the market right now, however there are no conditions to meet which might suit you well if you don't want to commit to a monthly deposit and wish to make withdrawals.

Hi Karen,
We checked with NAB, and unfortunately this isn’t possible. The NAB iSaver needs to be linked to an eligible NAB transaction account. The only way to transfer funds in or out of the NAB iSaver is through your linked account. So, you could have the funds deposited into your linked transaction account, and then immediately transfer them to your iSaver on settlement day.
Hope this helps!

I have a nab account already. If I open an isaver account will I receive the high interest rate for 4 months?

Hi Dianne, yes you can open an account and get the bonus interest rate. As an existing customer, you should be able to open the account online through your internet banking profile.
Hope this helps!

I took up NAB 4% introductory offer and expected no fees on withdrawals as advertised. This is not true. If I want to move money, I have to move it into the current account and then if the transfer is more than $30,000 I have to pay a $35 fee. How is this free? Was I misinformed by NAB staff?

Hi Gus,
According to NAB’s site and the PSD document there shouldn’t be a fee for making an internal transfer. However, if it’s an international transfer a fee may be charged.
We suggest you get in touch with NAB directly to clarify why this fee would be charged.
Thanks,
Alison

We have just less than $1m from the recent sale of our house but expect to use a large proportion of that witching six months on the purchase of a new house. If we deposit this in a NAB iSaved account, will be receive 3.5% or thereabouts regardless of when we complete a major redraw?

Hi David,
This account currently offers 3.5% p.a. for the first 4 months after opening the account. There are no conditions to meet to earn this (except you need to be a new customer). You can make withdrawals at any time and still earn this rate for the first 4 months.
Thanks,
Alison

Can you advise the cost of transfer of transferring say $50,000.00 to a Singapore bank account with another bank from a NAB savings account.
Can you advise how much for an internet transfer and an over the counter transfer of $50,000.00?

Hi John,
Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.
For this large sum money transfer, it is best that you contact NAB directly for a more accurate info on this matter.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
