Our verdict

The ANZ Save account offers a rate of 4.9% p.a. as long as your balance is $250,000 or less.

This is a simple, no-fuss savings account with a strong ongoing rate and no hoops to jump through. You can earn 4.9% p.a if your savings balance is $250,000 or less, without having to meet any monthly deposit requirements or transaction numbers. You can also make withdrawals and still earn the full interest rate on the account balance.

The 4.9% p.a. interest rate is only slightly lower than other leading high interest savings accounts in the market at the moment, but most other savings accounts come with several monthly conditions to meet.

Pros

  • Round up extra cents on eligible card transactions and send them to your savings
  • Set and track up to 99 savings goals
  • Easily track savings progress in the ANZ Plus app

Cons

  • You earn a lower interest rate on your total balance if you save over $250,000

Key features

Earn up to 4.9% p.a. on your savings

This savings account offers 4.9% p.a. if your ANZ Save balance is $250,000 or less, with no other conditions to meet.

A multi-goal savings account that lets you earn interest, set and track up to 99 savings goals, all from the one app.

However, if your balance is beyond $250,000 then you'll earn a lower rate on the total account balance.

Linked ANZ Plus everyday account

The ANZ Plus app comes with 2 linked accounts: an everyday account and a savings account. The everyday account is your day-to-day account for spending and receiving payments, while your savings account pays interest on your balance to help you save. The everyday account currently does not earn interest.

You can move money between the 2 accounts easily and instantly in the app. You can't open these accounts separately, you'll get both when you download the ANZ Plus app.

No monthly account keeping fees

There are no monthly account keeping fees with the ANZ Plus account or the linked Save account, and no fees to download the app.

Set up multiple savings goals

You can set up multiple individual savings goals in the ANZ Plus app, and track your progress towards each one.

ANZ is stating that you can earn interest this way until 1st September 2024, after which additional criteria will apply that may affect how much interest you earn. Are you aware of what the additional criteria involves? The ANZ and ANZ Plus app does not specify the additional criteria.

You can transfer money from your ANZ Plus Saver to your ANZ Plus bank account, and then from there you can transfer to another ANZ account like you would a normal bank-to-bank transfer.

Hi Nicole,


According to ANZ, joint accounts are not available at the moment. You can read more about it here: https://www.anz.com.au/plus/support/opening-accounts/joint-accounts/


I hope that helps.


Thanks,

Jason
