      Hi Rob,

      Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.

      You may use this account for you DIY super fund. It is best that you contact BOQ directly to discuss more on having this account and your super fund.

      If you’re still looking around for your DIY super fund, you may also check out results on this Finder search page like BankSA DIY Super Saver, St.George DIY Super Saver etc.

      I hope this helps.

      Thank you and have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Jeni

    Hi, just to clarify – is the introductory rate from the day the account is opened or the day I transfer money first into the account? Thank you.

      Hi John,

      Thanks for reaching out to finder.

      The 2.80% p.a. introductory special offer (1.20% p.a. variable + 1.60% p.a. bonus) will be paid for 4 months from the account opening date – to any new customers who open a WebSavings Account on or after 21 June 2018.

      Please note that additional interest only applies to account balances of $2,000 or more.

      I hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      Charisse

    I have an existing web saver account, the offer expires soon. Why don’t you reward your loyal customers with the equivalent bonus interest? Or don’t you want to keep tour existing customers?

      Hi Graeme!

      Thanks for getting in touch!

      You can open a joint account with BOQ, however, the 2.9% earning interest is for new customers only. The offer is not available to existing customers whether or not they hold a WebSavings Account. For additional Terms and Conditions, you can check the important Information part of the bank website.

      Hope this clarifies!

      Cheers,
      Nikki

    I have an existing Web account, but would like to transfer a large amount into that account. Am I eligible for the 2.9%? If not why not?

      Hi Peter,

      Thank you for getting in touch with finder.

      As you mentioned, you are an existing WebSavings account holder which doesn’t qualify you for this rate of 2.90% p.a.

      Basically, to get up to 2.90% p.a. rate, you must be a new customer with balances between $2,000 – $5,000,000 for 4 months from account opening date and this offer is for a limited time only. 2.9% p.a. is the combination of the variable base rate, 1.30% p.a. and bonus interest rate, 1.60% p.a.

      Please visit BOQ’s official page for more info on their products. You may also speak to one of their representatives from a local branch near you or via phone for further assistance.

      As a friendly reminder, while we do not represent any company we feature on our pages, we can offer you general advice.

      I hope this helps.

      Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any other enquiries.

      Thank you and have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Jeni

      Hi John,

      Thank you for your inquiry.

      Typically, these are the transactions you’ve done through your online account. For example you made an online fund transfer a fee may apply on this transaction.

      I hope this information has helped.

      Cheers,
      Harold
