I have around $300k to invest but want to protect my deposit with the government guarantee of $250k and collect the highest interest rate available but I would prefer to
Not have to worry about needing a home loan with the institution or end up having to move my money after a honeymoon period of a higher rate but do not mind making regular deposits to the account or an attached account like maybe my salary.
Can you give me the details of 3 or so as I currently deal with Me and RAMS but am moving away from one of these institutions?
Hi Scott,
Thanks for your question.
If you are looking to open a savings account with a government guarantee, high-interest rate, and no requirement to open a home loan, you may compare our list of savings accounts.
The bonus rate is normally an ongoing offer as long as you meet the terms of the savings account. In case you are not able to get the bonus rate, your deposit will still earn the standard variable rate.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Cheers,
Anndy
