Hi Cynthia,
For guidance in closing your account, you may visit a St.George branch near you or call them on 13 33 30.
The Maxi Saver doesn’t have monthly account-keeping fees nor does it have a minimum monthly balance/deposit requirements. However, keep an eye out for monthly fees applied to the linked St.George bank account.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Alison

I am an existing home loan customer of St George.
My daughter is transfering to me $1800 a fortnight from her pay as a forced savings measure (otherwise she just spends it).
I imagine this will keep building for a year or several years.
I need to separate these funds from my own.
What would be the best St George accumulation account for this?
Thanks.

Am I considered a “new customer” if I open up a St George Maxi Saver even if I have previously been a customer before with one of your subsidiary banks like Bank of Melbourne ?

Hi Marie,
Thanks for your question.
You are still considered a new customer even if you previously held an account with one of St. George’s subsidiary banks. A new customer is someone who is opening a St.George Maxi Saver account for the first time.
Cheers,
Anndy

I do not have any account with St George. To open a Maxi Saver account must I have an existing account with St George ?
