Our verdict
You'll earn bonus interest for making regular monthly deposits of $200, and you can make withdrawals at any time.
This account offers an ongoing bonus rate of 5.1% when you link it to a Ubank Spend transaction account and deposit $200 a month into either account.
The maximum bonus rate with this account is better than many others in the market right now, and the monthly deposit requirement is also lower than a lot of accounts. The Ubank High Interest Save has no withdrawal restrictions and there’s no monthly spending conditions to meet either, so it’s quite easy to earn the bonus interest.
The linked Spend account charges no account keeping fees, no overdrawn fees, no ATM withdrawal fees and no foreign transaction fees.
You can open multiple Save accounts, but keep in mind the bonus interest is only available on balances up to $250,000 per customer.

Hi there,
Thank you for your question.
The up to 5% maximum variable rate for the Ubank High Interest Save Account means that you have the potential to earn a variable interest rate of up to 5% on your savings balance.
To get the full 5%, you typically need to meet certain conditions, which in the case of this account, include the following:
Linking to a Ubank Spend Account: You must link your Ubank High Interest Save Account to a Ubank Spend Account. Both accounts work together, and the linked Spend Account is where your everyday transactions take place.
Monthly Deposits: You are required to make regular monthly deposits of at least $200 into either the Ubank High Interest Save Account or the linked Ubank Spend Account.
By meeting these conditions, you can earn the full 5% variable interest rate on your savings balance.
Keep in mind that this high interest rate applies to balances up to $250,000 per customer. If you have a higher balance, the portion above $250,000 will earn the standard variable rate, which is typically lower.
I hope this helps.
