Our verdict
This savings account offers an ongoing interest rate on balances up to $5 million with no monthly conditions to meet.
This savings account offers a very competitive introductory interest rate for the first 4 months with no conditions to meet. After that, the rate drops to a lower but still relatively high rate of 4.85% p.a.
As the name suggests, this account is a simple savings account that pays you interest each month with nothing for you to do. It’d be ideal if you don’t want to commit to a regular monthly deposit and don’t want any withdrawal restrictions, but still want your savings to earn some interest.

We have a son 14 years old. My wife and I want our son to get his first debit card and sign up for a simple saver account. Do we just download the app and sign up using his mobile number and all his personal details?

Hi Roy,
You’ll usually need to verify your son’s identity with ID forms like a passport, birth certificate or Medicare. If you’re able to successfully complete electronic verification when applying online, your child’s account will be opened immediately.
Hope this helps!

Hi Travis,
Yes, the interest paid on this account is compound interest. We have a guide on compound interest and savings accounts if you’re interested.
I hope that helps.

Hi Sharaon,
BOQ says on its website “accounts can be opened with 2 people only as joint owners”.

Can a company open a BOQ simple saver account or is it only open to individuals?
