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?

      How do I apply for a UniBank account?

      You’ll need to become a member of UniBank if you’d like to apply for an account. You’re eligible to join if you’re a current or retired employee, graduate or post-graduate of an Australian university. You’re also eligible if you’re a current student at an Australian university.

      UniBank offers a wide range of benefits to members of the education community, but make sure to compare its accounts with other products on the market to ensure you get the best account to help you manage your money.
