    Re: Bank Australia My Saver Account.
    I have 3 boys ages 10, 13, 15.
    The two older boys have a TFN, and also make regular deposits.
    The younger can also make regular deposits.
    They all have a Bank SA Card account.
    Can they all get their own individual accounts???
    Would the interest rate be 2.6 plus 2.45 – so a total interest rate of 5.05 paid monthly?? Cheers.

      Hello Jason,

      Thank you for contacting finder.

      The eligibility requirements for applicants are the following:

      *must be below 25 years old (must be at least 18 years old if you will be applying online)
      *Australian resident and citizen
      *TFN (Tax File Number)
      *Identification – information from your driver’s license, passport or Medicare card

      Regarding the Interest Rate, you will only earn the 2.45% Bonus Interest Rate if you will be depositing at least $10 and will not be withdrawing any funds for the said month. The Maximum Variable Rate is 2.60% which may consist of the 0.15% Standard Interest Rate and the 2.45% Bonus Interest Rate (0.15% + 2.24% = 2.60%). You cannot earn more than 2.60% p.a. per month for the mySaver Account from Bank of Australia.

      I hope this has helped you gain some insight.

      Let us know if there is anything else that we may assist you with.

      Cheers,
      Ash

      Hi Keith,

      Thanks for your question.

      Unfortunately since Bank Australia is an online bank, they don’t have any physical branches at all.

      If you’d like, you can apply for an account over the phone.

      Cheers,
      Shirley
