If you’re keeping your money in an ordinary bank account, you are probably earning as little as 0.01% interest. Yet you’re giving your bank the opportunity to earn a margin of around 4% because they are lending you money to other people.
Doesn’t sound right, does it?
The good news is that there has never been a better time to hit back. And it doesn’t take that much effort.
The banks are competing with each other to get more and more deposits from ordinary Australians by offering bonus interest in their Online Savings Accounts. So switch your account today!
Online Savings Accounts don’t tie up your money any more than a regular bank account. Especially these days when you can transfer money from one account to another via an app on your phone.
