BankSA Incentive Saver

savings accountterms checked

Incentive Saver is a savings account from BankSA. It pays 5.65% p.a. in a month in which the conditions below are met and 0.01% when they are not.

Rate tiers

Every balance band in the bank's feed: base is the rate when the bonus conditions are not all met, bonus the add-on for meeting them, conditional the two together.

The bonus is paid on top of the base rate in a month in which the conditions are met; conditional is the two together, and the base rate is what is paid otherwise.

The feed states no cap on the balance that earns the bonus.
