This is a transaction account that also earns a competitive interest rate.

Key features

There is a $6 monthly fee for this account that is waived every month that you make at least $2,000 in deposits.

How do I access my money?

Check your balance through the AMP app

You can bank from your mobile device by downloading the AMP app from the Google Play Store or from the Apple App Store.

Linked Visa debit card

Your account will be linked to an AMP Visa debit card. This card allows you to make ATM enquiries and withdrawals along with purchases wherever the Visa logo is accepted.

Visa payWave feature

One of the features of your Visa debit card is Visa payWave. This allows you to make purchases of under $100 without having to swipe your card or sign the receipt.

Unlimited free transactions can be made at any rediATM in Australia.

2.5% International transaction fee

If a transaction requires converting currency you will be charged 2.5% of the transaction amount. This usually occurs when you make a purchase overseas, or make a purchase in a different currency when shopping online.

$4.50 International ATM withdrawal fee

$4.50 is charged to your account when you use an overseas ATM. Additional charges may be applied by the ATM network provider as well.

This account is intended for personal use only. If you are interested in a business account check the features of the AMP Business Cash Manager. You can compare other AMP products on this page.

How to apply

Documentation needed

As you make your way through the application you will find it easier to fill out if you have the following documentation close by:

Bank account information. If you plan on linking this account to another in order to make transfers you will need to provide that account number along with the BSB number.

What happens after I submit my application?

Filling out the online application typically takes ten minutes. If AMP Bank to post is being used to verify your identity, those forms will be mailed to you within three business days.
