Our verdict

This is a great ongoing rate considering there are no monthly conditions to meet and you can make withdrawals whenever you want.

This rate of 4.2% p.a. isn't the highest in the market, but, considering there are no conditions to meet to get it it's actually quite good. This account could suit you if you want to earn a decent amount of interest without having to jump through any hoops.

Unlike some other savings accounts that don’t allow you to make withdrawals, this account allows you to withdraw as often as needed while still earning interest each month, making it a flexible option for savers. There are also no monthly deposit conditions to meet, so it could suit you if you don't have a regular income or simply don't want to have to remember to make a monthly deposit.

Pros

No account conditions to earn the ongoing 4.2%
No monthly account fees
Can make withdrawals and still earn interest

Cons

Interest rate not as high as some others in the market
