Our verdict

The Business Access Saver from BankSA allows your business to set money aside, such as for tax and GST payments.

Earn interest on your balance while also having full access to your business funds.

Pros

Separate business savings account helps manage finances and simplifies tax preparation.
No account-keeping or transfer fees.

Cons

Interest rate of 0.45%

The Business Access Saver offers a variable interest rate on your savings of 0.45%, allowing you to earn some extra cash just for saving some.

Interest calculated daily

Your interest is calculated daily based on the account balance and earnings deposited into the account at the start of the following month.

No monthly fees

You will not be charged any account keeping or other monthly fee with the Business Access Saver, but be mindful that your linked account may require ongoing monthly payments to maintain.

No minimum balance

You will not be required to maintain a minimum balance in the Business Access Saver account, so you can get started right away.

Linked transaction account available

A linked business transaction account through BankSA is necessary in order to transfer money into and out of your Business Access Saver. Both accounts must be held in same business name.

Easy access to your account and unlimited transactions

Keep an eye on your account and make transfers over the phone, online or with your mobile device. These services all provide you with free unlimited transactions. You can also have teller assistance at a BankSA branch four times in a month, but if you exceed that limit you will be charged a fee per transaction.

Mobile banking app available

After signing up for the BankSA online banking feature, you can download the free app onto your mobile device from Google play or the App Store. This feature allows you to control your business savings from a mobile phone or tablet and find the nearest branch, check your balance and make transfers. Login using a custom four digit passcode or if you have a compatible iPhone using iOS8, you can login to your account with a fingerprint check.
