NAB Reward Saver 4.00% p.a. Interest (Base Rate 0.35%, Bonus 3.65% with 0 Withdrawal & Minimum 1 Deposit Per Month) - No Cap

140

The NAB Reward Saver is a savings account offered by the National Australia Bank (NAB) that provides customers with bonus interest if they make at least one deposit and no withdrawals during the month.

The account has no monthly account fees, and customers can access their funds at any time without penalty.

The bonus interest rate is calculated on top of the standard interest rate and is paid on all balances (including over $1 million)

Banks probably scrambling to offer these products after the ACCC inquiry was launched

Might not be the best deal for everyone, but if you have $1m+ and want to put all your money in one place, and have access to a physical Big 4 bank, then this is probably the best rate going around.

    Might be good for ppl who are sitting on house proceeds and the pain of dealing with ANZplus is too great (if my mother's experience is anything to go by)

    Base rate 0.35%… I'll say it again, this crap shouldn't be allowed. It should be base rate 3.65% and bonus 0.35%.

      Seen an article about this today, came here looking for a better savings account.

        Great article.

        For anyone reading it, it's not super clear in the article that banks won't provide better savings rates if they don't want more money (or relatively risky debtors). This is normal business sense and is ok. But the article does call out other (shady) tactics that obfuscate things that should be transparent.

        I also want to know how banks can advertise their interest rates then they provide such a huge discount that their advertised rate means crap. As per the article, it seems an attempt to make shopping around hard.

    Uncapped, higher rate, no penalty on withdrawal but you need to grow balance.

  • Last week, I almost bailed out of my long term dealings with the CBA. Actually, the CBA is not half bad after seeing so called 'deals' like this one. I did say 'half' bad.

    I think Westpac Life has a better offer.
    Same 4%, but the base is 1.35%. You only need to grow the balance, but can still make withdrawals.

    And I think Bank of Melbourne is now offering 4.25% for their Incentive Saver

  • Nice but has serious flaws as an active banking account.

    Even so it would be very useful when paired with a sister account at Ubank once you hit the $250k cap there.

    Thanks OP for the heads up.

      I was told that the government guarantee for deposits up to $250k is for each authorised deposit-taking institution, eg. NAB. But because ubank and 86400 operate under NAB, you won't have the guarantee for savings totalling over $250k across all these companies. Something to consider for the very cautious. Can someone confirm?

      • Yeah I can just see the current Labor government willingly hand over billions of dollars to people with multiple $250k bank accounts in a financial crisis.

      • +2

        Yes, it's per license. Since both the old uBank, 86400 (the new uBank) and Citibank are now all operating under NAB's license, it's up to 250k across all of them.

          Thanks for that info.

    0 withdrawal ! So they've just renamed a Term deposit account as a Savings account.

    • Well.. Reduced break/exit fees but yeah

    • I somewhat agree but don’t term deposits not compound?
