Bank First, formerly Victoria Teachers Mutual, is a mutual which means their customers own the organisation. Profits are reinvested back into the Bank First to provide continuing value through highly competitive interest rates, low fees and superior customer service.

You don’t have to be a teacher to join this customer owned bank, anyone can become a customer and access leading savings and investment products.

Bank First is regulated in the same way as the big four banks, and its deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Government up to $250,000.

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?
