    St George Bank passed full 0.25% increased rate to customers. How's UBank?

      This rate assurance is valid until further notice.

      The competitor accounts covered by this rate assurance are:

      ING Direct Savings Maximiser
      Bankwest TeleNet Saver
      Commonwealth Bank NetBank Saver
      Westpac eSaver
      ANZ Online Saver
      St George Direct Saver

      It has been several weeks but ubank is still at 5.85% while its competitors has gone up to 6%

  • Rod71 on 12/04/2010 - 11:17

    UBank has passed on 0.00%

    Negative vote for the short-term introductory rate.

      If you had $100,000 and were getting 1.55%p.a better than the competition for 4 months, then it equates to roughly ~$500 better off. Still a good deal in that respect if you had a large sum.

      • CyberMurning on 12/04/2010 - 11:41

        agree.. this is still good

      • M27 on 12/04/2010 - 12:02

        uBank(5.95%) is better. If you go with St George, you only get 0.05% extra for 4 months, while still need to open a new account and also move out the money after 4 months, not worth the effort.

  • [Deactivated] on 12/04/2010 - 11:45

    No defence of Ubank - but they seem to wait until the others like St George move, then their rate guarantee kicks in. They do however match the intro rates, whereas StG BWest only offer to new customers. Which doesn't encourage or build loyalty.

    • JY1 on 12/04/2010 - 12:04

      UBank's USaver rate assurance ended on 31st of March 2010?

      • CyberMurning on 12/04/2010 - 13:08

        then time to take our money out from ubank

    • quarrymaster on 12/04/2010 - 13:29

      St George does from time to time, offer the better rates to some of its current customers. It is a PITA that it does not really foster loyalty, but then it's no different to telcos offering better deals to new connections…

  • Livert on 12/04/2010 - 12:18

    A couple of months ago I negotiated to have my St George power saver account to be 0.05% under the introductory rate of the direct saver account. Currently it's 5.95%. Got ATM and branch access to my account.

  • gringo on 12/04/2010 - 13:26

    negotiated? so you just went in to a branch and asked? Or was there some special reason they did this for you?

      Yeah. Amount was substantial enough. Threatened to move all my funds to Ubank. Now I'm a "Gold Service" member LOL. Apparently I now have personalised service and can speak to my local St George branch manager anytime.

  • wozz on 12/04/2010 - 15:32

    Better deals around

    • patientvalue on 13/04/2010 - 09:16

      where? please provide evidence. thanks

  • Nezuji on 12/04/2010 - 16:23

    On St. George's main site, the details report the same base rate and bonus that add up to 6.00%, but the total is given as 5.75%. I'd be a bit worried about trusting my money with a bank that can't add properly ;p

    • Nezuji on 15/04/2010 - 16:07

      Fixed now :)
