"The best thing about AMP's high interest savings account is it's really easy to earn the bonus interest. You only need to transfer $1000 a month into the savings account to qualify, even if you simply transfer that money from another AMP account. You can withdraw as much as you like, finish the month with a lower balance and there's nothing else you need to remember to qualify. I set up an auto-transfer from my offset account each month, so it's a great 'set and forget' money-earner."

Different accounts that AMP offers
AMP offers a range of different account which you can see in the tables above. Here's a few of the popular account options offered by the bank.
AMP Access Account
This is AMP's main day-to-day transaction account product. It has no monthly account keeping fee and no minimum balance requirement to meet. It comes with a Visa debit card which you can use anywhere Visa is accepted around the world, including for online transactions.
This savings account offers an ongoing total bonus variable rate of 5.2%p.a. if you deposit $1,000 (to be increased to $1000 effective 1 Feb 2023) into an AMP Saver Account in the previous month, with no monthly spend requirements to meet.
You can open an AMP Term deposit with a minimum deposit of $5,000. You can choose a term length between 30 days and 5 years, and you'll earn a fixed interest rate for the length of your term.

We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
