How to compare savings accounts in Australia

This table shows current savings account rates from Australian banks and credit unions, sorted by the ongoing rate — what your money earns after any introductory period ends. Introductory rates can look attractive but typically last only three to five months. Sorting by the ongoing rate helps you find accounts that perform over the long run.

Most accounts split their rate into a base component and a bonus component. To earn the full rate, you need to meet monthly conditions — commonly a minimum deposit, a set number of card transactions, or a requirement to grow your balance. The conditions column shows what each account requires so you can judge whether you'll actually hit them.
