There's a feature in Netbank to allow you to apply bonus interest on your Netbank Savers.

At present there's an offer (may be targeted) for +1.65% for 3 months on top of the base interest rate of 1.1% (total of 2.75% for 3 months).

To apply this follow the below steps

  1. Log into your Netbank
  2. Select "settings" in the top right
  3. Scroll down and select "Change account options"
  4. Select your Netbank Saver then elect the bonus you're eligible for from the drop down.

This post isn't targeted at those people looking for the best rate out there, but rather to those that prefer to keep their savings in their current bank (EG Commonwealth" and aren't satisfied with the 1.1% they're currently being offered.

I know for me personally I have a lot of elderly family/friends that aren't comfortable with the idea of branch-less banks, limiting where they can earn a decent rate on their savings. So this option makes a big difference for them.

  • Belv on 17/10/2022 - 22:54

    The ad says 3% introductory rate then they only gave me 2.35%. do have a bit of money in there so they possibly low balling me ….

    • imcold on 20/10/2022 - 23:17

      This is 3% offer is for your first Net-bank account. The only realistic option is to do a bank-run on CBA. If lots of people start sending money out each week then interest rates will go up without any games or finding links that give page not found screen.

  • gromit on 17/10/2022 - 23:06

    Really shows u how abysmal CBA are. Even a special deal is worse than everyone else's standard rate.

  • kittyyay on 17/10/2022 - 23:12

  • sagrgar on 17/10/2022 - 23:15

    Hi all. I have my savings with CBA, but with other banks offering 3+% interest rate, is it a good idea to switch bank? What are the pros and cons here? Why isn't everyone flocking towards bank offering higher interest rate and staying with CBA?

      The easiest savings account with the least hassles is ubank I find

      • dontpanic on 18/10/2022 - 01:43

        ANZ Plus offer the same 3.25% with no hoops at all. The initial catch was you could only transfer $5000 out per day (making it hard to switch to a competitor if you had a pile of cash sitting in there), but that's now been upped to $30,000. Good option if you want to just set and forget.

      Commbank jas many branches, which is a big advantage for the elderly, who do not like to do internet banking. Their rates are terrible though

        This.
        I have CBA as main bank coz of how big they are & sheer availability of physical branches nearest that cater to my family in case we need face to face.
        (Would prefer to use ANZ/plus with my income once I can get that set up.)

        But I do route my savings from there to elsewhere, ING and :ubank atm

  • NotBritishorUK on 18/10/2022 - 00:04

    The OP isn’t advertising this as a deal to switch to from another bank, and specifically points out it’s for those who don’t want to move. It’s a good deal for those who were getting a really shit rate with CommBank and through this technique are getting a boost of 1%+ to a less shit rate

    I got a 1.05% boost I wasn’t aware of. I boosted before but didn’t realise it had run out until the OP directed me

    I have money in UBank and ING, just like to have some sitting in CommBank too and this has helped

        What's that?

        Yeah, we have. CBA customers could be less lazy and have ING + ubank + Macquarie if they needed many accounts, and keep their CBA account empty for using physical facilities. I'm sure oldies have figured out online banking.
