Expert review

This is an everyday transaction account with no monthly account keeping fees. You can use your Visa Debit Card to make free ATM withdrawals at all Suncorp, Westpac, NAB, ANZ and CBA ATMs in Australia, and you can also link it to Apple Pay, Google Pay. If you’re planning to use the card overseas, there's also no international transaction fee and no ATM withdrawal fee by Suncorp (the ATM operator fees may still apply though).

What’s most unique about this account is that you can link up to 9 mini sub-accounts that pay interest, which is rare for a transaction product. This means you can put some of your money in different sub-accounts, for example for different bills and expenses. You’re not penalised for moving money out of the sub-accounts either, so you can set up direct debits for recurring bills and still earn interest.

Key features

$0 monthly account keeping fee

This account charges no monthly account keeping fees.

Link up to nine sub-accounts

You can have up to nine separate sub-accounts that are linked to your main account all earning a small amount of interest on the balances, currently 0.05%. These separate accounts do not incur any extra account keeping fees.

You can use these accounts to save for individual savings goals, for example one could be used to save towards your next holiday and one could be used to save for a new car. When your salary is deposited into your main Everyday Options Account, you can opt to have some of it automatically redirected into your sub-accounts (this feature is set by you).

Earn 0.05% on your sub-accounts

Balances in your sub accounts will earn 0.05% interest. Interest is calculated daily and paid into the account monthly. The funds in that sub-account are still at-call and can be moved back into the main account whenever you need them.

flexiRates on your sub-accounts

If you choose to use your sub-account for flexiRates, you will be locking your funds away for a predetermined period of time and you may earn a higher rate of interest. You can choose a term length from 1-12 months.

Account accessibility

You are given a number of options for accessing your money without being charged any transaction fees. These include; ATM, EFTPOS, BPAY, phone banking, Internet banking, mobile banking or in branch.

Account accessibility

This account comes with a free linked Visa debit Card to use for day-to-day spending in store and online wherever Visa is accepted around the world.
