Online savers open accounts in ten minutes

31/01/2012

Savers are being lured by special offers and incentives by online savings accounts but there can be conditions attached.

UBank's USaver offers 6.01 per cent if the account holder sets up an automatic savings plan of $200 a month. The base rate is currently 5.41 per cent. ING Direct, RaboDirect and Virgin Money also offer very good interest rates to savers.

UBank's general manager Alex Twigg says anybody can open an online savings account in just ten minutes. “They can have an account number and passed their 100-point check without providing any documentation.”

He says despite it all being online, it doesn't leave out the elderly, with customers ranging in age from 18 to 108.
