Our verdict
Enjoy a refund of international ATM fees and international card transaction fees when you meet the account conditions.
The Great Southern Bank Everyday Edge Account is a convenient everyday transaction account with no account keeping fees, a linked Visa Debit Card and access to Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay.
This account offers a few more travel benefits than the standard Great Southern Bank Everyday Account. You’ll get all international card transaction fees and international ATM withdrawal fees refunded back into your account when you deposit $2,000 a month and make 5+ card purchases within the month.
These are great benefits if you travel often, but just make sure you can meet the monthly deposit condition as it is larger than what other similar accounts require.

Hi Philip, you will need to confirm with the bank directly for an exact timeframe on this. However, usually your debit card will arrive within 5-7 business days.
