Bonus 2.40% p.a. Interest (Total 3.75% p.a.) for 8 Months on Netbank Saver Accounts (Activation Required) @ Commbank

830

Hey all,

When looking at my CBA NetBank Saver account today I noticed they have another option available in the Settings > Change Account Options page. This:

"This is a campaign offer which entitles you to a fixed bonus margin of +2.40% p.a. above the standard variable interest rate for 8 months. After 8 months, the standard variable interest rate will apply. The standard variable interest rate may change at any time. This offer is available for a limited time."

Assuming this will be applicable to all customers (not sure). This option will bring the full rate to 3.75%. Not the best savings rate but good for CBA and maybe less hassle for some?

Unsure how long it will last… potentially changing per month after RBA decisions.

Cheers.

    I'm only getting 3.2% for 3 month lol
    But thanks good find, never knew we could do that!

    • Same!

      • Same +1

        • 3.2% also

    • Mine previously was that. Maybe check back in a day or so?

      No worries, every little bit counts.

    • I’ve got 2.8% for 3 months. Nice try but maybe be better next time. I’ve moved all my money out of there a couple of months ago.

  • +1

    where can I find this in the app?

    • +3

      Type Compare and switch on the app.

    • You need to access it in the browser version. Not in app I dont think.

      • +2

        You can still access in app. By typing on the search " Compare and switch" . Then click on compare and switch account. It will redirect you to the netbank site , after you enter your pin.

        • Tried that and all I get is
          "There are no alternative options currently available for the selected account"

          Tried my various accounts and get that same message

          • +1

            @aerobot: I guess maybe targeting them or reliant on how much is in there. I have confirmed with someone else that this option does exist (not just my account).

          • +2

            @aerobot: Me too, been with commbank for 12 years. All my savings are with ubank now

            • @OzzyOzbourne: Yeah, we moved all ours to Ubank a couple of years ago too. Though noticed the other day that St George increased one of their saver accounts to 4.00%, which would be 0.15% more than what Ubank will be increasing theirs to in December. Might shift some funds back to St George…

  • +5

    Mine still shows only the 3.2% in total . Which it's for 3 months.

  • Just to shake things up, I see:

    "Variable introductory rate, currently 3.50% p.a. for the first 5 months on your first NetBank Saver account (includes 2.15% p.a. fixed bonus margin above the current standard variable rate)"

    lol (this is under "Apply for a new product" -> Compare Accounts)

    • I see this too, but when I click open now, the next page shows 3.2% 3 months.
      Still better than current one which is 3% so I opened it.

  • mine shows .55%

    • Lol i thought im worse at 1.5%

      • +2

        why do some people have bonus interest and some don't its bs

  • +2

    Come on CBA. Try harder next time.
    This is behind the current market.
    Only bank worse than this is NAB. Oh and of course ANZ with their hard cutoff on $250k.

    • +1

      At least Nab's subsidiary ubank is 3.85%

      • Yep from 1st Dec.

  • Guess I got lucky (not that the rate is particularly amazing…) and got this offer. Confirmed via email
    "You have switched account ******** to a NetBank Saver - 8 month Campaign Offer +2.40%."

  • Not targeted.. lol!

  • +1

    Bit late, only stupid customers left, anyone with money isn't stupid and left months ago..

    • Yeah, I must have had a significant amount with commbank for a year or two before I put my money elsewhere. Their rates have always been uncompetitive. I guess when rates were approaching 0 no other bank was offering a lot more.

    • Dumbo me. Needed to have a Commbank acct for a possible finance bridge. Getting 2.3% only. At least I have the minimum with them.

  • +2

    O.15% for me. Fk this sheeet

    • I got the same faaarking thing.

    • Same. Wtf. Who gets targeted?

  • Showing 3.2% pa for me lol

  • 3.2% for me

  • +2

    Been a customer with CommBank for ages, their rates are a joke. Recently switched from CommBank and NAB to Macquarie in the ozbargain deal for 4.2%. Never looking back.

    Just open a incentive saver account with Bank of Melbourne and get 4.15%

    • -1

      Not 4%?

  • +3

    Pathetic again CBA, keep up with the market

  • +1

    Mine is 3.75% for 5 months.

    Anyone think the deal will remain available until December? I can't move money in until December so I don't want to prematurely activate the deal as it will give me less term.

    • Unknown they state “limited time only”

    • Wouldn't be hard to find a higher rate in 5 months based on how rates are going.

  • I can't find "Settings > Change Account Options" anywhere via the browser. OP, did you type this correctly?

    I can find a similar offer via "compare accounts" however I need to open a new NBS account to access it. But as per earlier posts… it lures you in, then offers a lower rate?!

  • 3 month +1.85% but thanks.

  • +2

    3 month Special Offer + 0.15%. yeah cool. thanks cba

  • +3

    One of the few Oz Bargain posts that makes you make money instead of spend it

  • Mine said CBA CBF, take your cash to Macquarie bank.

    I (profanity) CBA off after they deleted my student account without telling me because it had a 0 balance for 6 months

    Now if I sign up it's a $4/month account

    No point tbh, there are much better banks out there

    • +1

      I've had to chase up my student status with them twice now. They'll say they have everything on file, and then just randomly start charging me $4 per month again. Extremely frustrating but I'm keeping it for access to CommSec.

  • got a bonus 2.15% so now 3.5%. better that last months offer. not bad

  • Found the offer, under my NB saver acct, footnote 1. Applies to. New accounts opened after 11/11/2022.
    Should shareholders be annoyed - 1. We get nothing, and the bank loses customers or 2. We make lots out of the dumbos?????
    Don’t think these sorts of restricted offers are good for long term business.
    C/f UBank - just usually pretty good long term offers and stay with them.

  • I got 3.5% for 5 months

    The Harvey Norman take Corona Money bot it is ok is on and the truth is being blocked.
    Sorry all I have is a certain finger for this deal!

  • +2

    Thanks, just checked mine and bumped up to 3.75% p.a (+2.40% p.a bonus)

  • +2

    Still working, thanks! 3.20% is much better than the previous 1.55%.
    Just search for 'compare and switch' as they suggested above.
