Westpac Tertiary Student Package

I thought this is worth posting: especially the high interest rate if you don’t make withdrawals for a month

Benefits include:

  • No monthly package fee (save up to $60 a year)
  • Unlimited free transactions
  • Linked savings account

For every month you put money in without taking any out and maintain a positive account balance, you’ll earn bonus interest of 6.30%* pa, plus:

  • No monthly fee
  • A savings plan so you can monitor your savings progress

You forget the fine line:

  • 6.30% pa bonus interest will only be payable on the first $250,000 of the savings account balance. No interest is paid on the portion of the savings account balance over $250,000.

Although,

  1. It is unlikely that a tertiary student would have 250k cash in the bank.
  2. You won’t put that in the bank earning 6.3% if you have 250k.
