Got an email last night. A 3rd bank (MyState) announced an increase to it's savings rate yesterday.
Going up from 1.10% p.a. to 1.60% p.a. on 15 June 2022 and beating some of the other top current contenders who are paying 1.35% p.a. $20 deposit & 5 settled VISA Debit transaction per month required to qualify.
Remember ING is going to offer 2.1% p.a. on up to $100,000 so this is for people:
- who are spreading the money across multiple accounts
- prefer to bank with MyState instead of ING for whatever reason
May more banks up their savings rate!
How about a reason being not wanting to jump through half a dozen convoluted eligibility criteria to hope you don't miss out on the advertised interest rate for that month.
I count my cents more than is probably time efficient for me personally, but I'm not going through their lengths to edge my interest higher.
Will see what UBank and AMP do this month…
