Kids' accounts
A special savings account with big interest for small people
A dedicated high-interest savings account for under-18s designed to help kids save for something they want.
Deposit $25 per month without making a withdrawal and earn bonus interest up to 3.8% p.a. on your balance up to $5,000.
Kids' Saver accounts can have their own PayID so parents (and grandparents!) can directly contribute to savings via an email address or a mobile phone number, without needing an account number and BSB.
There's no Visa debit card attached to our Kids' Saver accounts in order to encourage good saving habits. A linked 'everyday' account with a Visa debit card (digital and plastic) can be included in kids' memberships for their pocket money management.
Kids Saver accounts can be linked to parents' internet banking so they have visibility over the kids' savings, and spendings.
