Bank of Queensland's (BoQ) Future Saver account for 14-35 year olds is now the top account in the market, at a maximum rate of 4.35% p.a. according to Infochoice's database.
This is 5 basis points (0.05%) higher than ING's Savings Maximiser rate of 4.30% p.a.
For BoQ, the conditions are:
- Maximum balance $50,000
- For ages 14-35
- Deposit $1,000 per month in the linked transaction account every month
- Make five settled debit card transactions in the linked transaction account every month
This represents a 25 basis point increase over the old rate, and is effective 16 November.
Interest earned on balances between $50,001 to $250,000 will remain at a rate of 2.50% p.a.
BoQ's age-unrestricted account, Smart Saver, was also boosted by 25 basis points to 3.85% p.a.
This has the same monthly criteria, albeit with a deposit cap of $250,000.
