Banks paying high interest to kids

29/12/2011

Most banks offer great deals for full-time students, like no account-keeping fees, or savings accounts that pay bonus interest on regular deposits and no withdrawals. Remember, online accounts generally pay the highest interest and charge few fees.

These accounts are the same as regular bonus saving accounts but they cater to pocket-money investors, with smaller amounts to be deposited monthly. All the major banks, and others such as Suncorp and BankWest, offer children's bonus savers accounts. Some pay great bonus interest.
