For clarity, where we have used the terms “lowest” or “best”, these relate solely to the rates of interest offered by the provider and not to any other factor. The application of these terms to a particular product is subject to change without notice if the provider changes their rates.

We do not compare every savings accounts available in Australia, and this table does not compare every feature that may be relevant to you. Products are selected for relevance to the table and to the filters applied. They are not suggestions or recommendations, and the order they appear in is not a ranking of suitability. Changing the filters will surface further relevant products. See how we sort and rank products.

Some providers pay us to promote a product or for a click through to their site. Any paid listing is marked “Sponsored Placement” wherever it appears. Payment never determines which products we show: we consider all relevant products in the market against the filters applied, and payment never changes the figures we display. See how we make money and our advertiser disclosure.
