Expert review

This account offers some interest on your balance and a great deal of flexibility. It's rare to find a savings account that allows complete day-to-day access to your balance, with no conditions. However, if you're under 18 you will be able to find a higher interest rate elsewhere in the market.

Key features

Access to the account is easy and as unrestricted as possible

Gain access to your account through various channels and platforms. This includes telephone, mobile, and internet banking. You can also go directly to a BankVic branch, and even a Westpac bank. The PayAnyone Mobile Email feature of mobile banking is also available for your use.

When making use of Westpac bank to withdraw funds, a specially encoded deposit book will be required, which is available from BankVic. All account information will be pre-coded on the deposit slips, saving you the effort of writing everything down and removing the risk of making substantial errors.

Earn interest on your balance

The interest on this account is calculated daily and credited on both the 30th of June and 31st of December. The current interest rate is 0.1% p.a..

How to apply

Here's what you need to know before apply.

  • Do you have a BankVic membership? BankVic is a member only bank, therefore, to be able to qualify for any account held at their organisation you have to apply for membership first. This is gained by being a member of the police force, emergency service, health service or public service. If you stay 5km from one of their offices, you will qualify for membership, if another member introduces you to the bank you will be deemed fit to apply for membership, subject to this member having at least 12 months standing.
  • Maximum age. This savings account is only available to those under the age of 18. When the account holder turns eighteen years of age, they will cease to be eligible for this account. The account will then be converted to a savings account. The bank will remind you of this prior this date.
