This account charges no account keeping fees if you’re under 21 or a full time student or apprentice. If this isn’t you, you can still get the $5 account fee waived if you deposit $2,000 a month. Make sure you can meet the monthly deposit condition before opening the account, as it is quite high in comparison to other accounts.
The Cardless Cash feature in the St.Geroge app allows you to withdraw cash from St.George ATMs without your debit card, by generating a unique code in the app. If you’re an Apple user, you can link your debit card to Apple Pay to make purchases with your phone or wearable device while you’re out and about without your wallet. However if you’re an Android user, the account doesn’t support Google Pay or Samsung Pay just yet.
Another benefit of banking with St.George is it’s part of the Westpac Group. This means you can make free ATM withdrawals at all St.George, Westpac, BankSA and Bank of Melbourne ATMs in Australia and at 50,000+ ATMs overseas that are part of the Global ATM Alliance. But keep in mind that if you use an overseas ATM outside of the alliance, you'll be charged a $5 withdrawal fee, and the ATM operator may charge their own fee, too.
