Hi, what are the birthday rewards between ages 4-10? My daughter has had the account for years between these ages and never received a birthday reward. Thank you.

Hi Eve,


You may want to get in touch with Bendigo directly to confirm details and determine whether your child is eligible for gifts or not.

Does this kids account come with a debit card?

Hi Andrea,


Thank you for reaching out to us.


The Bendigo Bank PiggySaver Account does not have a debit card to come with. You may withdraw by transferring the funds to another Transaction account through BPAY, Pay Anyone and telegraphic transfers.


I hope this helps.


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


Cheers,

Ash

Hi Nicky,


Thanks for your question and apologies for the delay. I have been in contact with Bendigo and they have confirmed that you should have received the money box when you opened the account. If you have not yet received it, we recommend contacting Bendigo bank directly.


Regards,

Clarizza
