How it works

The Smart eSaver rewards you for leaving your savings alone to grow. No monthly account maintenance fees apply to this account.

Keep in mind, you can only access your money through the app, online banking or telephone banking.

Before you set up a Smart eSaver

You’ll need to have a Bankwest transaction account open in your name, which will be linked to your Smart eSaver. Monthly maintenance fees may apply to the linked account.

If you don’t touch your savings

For every month you don’t touch your savings interest is calculated at the applicable rate on the portion of the balance which falls within each of the tiers outlined below.

If you do make withdrawals

For every month you do make a withdrawal, you'll receive our standard variable interest rate (currently 1.00% p.a.).
