You can call Albert Tab Support at 1800 230 177 for further assistance. They are open 24/7.

What the highest interest rate on $100,000 pa?
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your question.
If you are looking at investing with Commonwealth Bank Goal Saver Account, the maximum variable rate you can get with your $100,000 investment is 1.85% p.a. Though you must meet the condition of depositing $200 each month and making no more than one withdrawal per month so that you earn the maximum or bonus interest rate.
Cheers,
May
Hi Judi,

What is the best interest rate for 100000, to meet deeming requirements by Centrelink?
Hi Mary,
Thanks for your question.
Please note that if your investment return is higher than the deemed income Centrelink calculates, the extra income doesn’t count towards your assessable income for your income support payment.
At the time of writing, Commonwealth Bank is offering a pensioner security account. It’s offering 2.50% on balances over $48,600.
The Netbank saver is offering up to 2.80% p.a.
If you would like to compare alternatives, please check high-interest savings accounts.
