Bank accounts that St.George provides give customers the liberty to pick one or more as per their needs. While a savings account can help you save in accordance to your goals, an everyday account is suitable for day to day use, and if you wish to benefit by earning high interest on money you don’t need right now, you can consider opening a term deposit.
St.George provides its customers with an internet banking platform and a mobile banking app. You can use these to activate new St.George debit and credit cards, and you can even use these platforms to apply for a new credit card, home loan, or bank account. These platforms give you easy means to access account related information, and you can use them to make bills payments and transfer funds to other accounts.

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 with no requirement to open a home loan, you may compare your options here.
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.
Cheers,
Anndy
