How we picked theseHow 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?
Both the NAB iSaver Account and CommBank's NetBank Saver Account offer bonus interest rates for new customers for an introductory period. CBA's account offers the higher bonus rate for 5 months, while NAB offers it for 4 months.
Neither account has any ongoing monthly deposit conditions to meet.

The NAB Reward Saver pays bonus interest every month you make at least 1 deposit (of any amount) but do not make any withdrawals. You also need to make the deposit by the second last banking day of the month.
