What are the features of the Delphi Bank Midas account?
Competitive interest rate of 1.40% p.a.
An interest rate of 1.40% p.a. is applied to all funds in the Midas account. Unlike some other savings accounts, you don’t need to meet any deposit requirements or withdrawal restrictions to receive this interest rate.
Interest calculated daily.
Interest is calculated daily and added to your account on the last calendar day of the month. It’s a variable interest rate, so will most likely move along the RBA cash rate.
