How 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?

    Is Bank Australia the owner of a entity previously known as United Permanent Building Society which it appears was originated in Sydney?

      Hi Colleen,

      Thanks for contacting Finder.

      Yes, United Permanent Building Society has been purchased by State Bank of South Australia which is currently known as Bank of South Australia (BankSA).

      I hope this helps.

      Please do not hesitate to reach out again to us if you have additional questions.

      Cheers,
      Ash

      Hi Barnabas,

      Thanks for your question.

      If you’ve previously held an account with Bank Australia before, you can open an account via internet and transfer funds from an overseas bank before you arrive.

      You can read our migrant banking guide if you wish to know more about other options for opening an account before you arrive as well.

      Regards,
      Shirley
