Our verdict
An everyday transaction account with no account keeping fees and access to Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay.
This transaction account has minimal fees and lots of different payment options available. There is no monthly account keeping fee and no deposit conditions for the account; deposit as little or as much as you want. You can use any Big Four bank ATM to withdraw cash for free, and you can deposit cash into your account for free via Bank@Post.
You can link your Visa Debit card to either Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay to make purchases with your phone, smartwatch or wearable device without needing to bring your wallet. A really handy feature with this account is that you can set up your digital wallet instantly after opening the account, so you don't even need to wait for your debit card to arrive to start making purchases.
You can also enable Pay&Save to have your everyday transactions rounded up to the closest $1 amount, with the spare change added into a linked P&N Bank savings account.
