          Have they not done it every month? I note there was only one month where they did not pass on the full RBA cash rate increase (missed 0.05%) and this is the first time they exceeded it. This account is designed to be market leading and you don't need to be Einstein to predict a bump in interest.

        By that same logic, go ask for a senior's discount/freebies everywhere you go because it's discrimination if they offer it to someone else but not everyone.

        I wonder what goes inside the mind of an uneducated brain sometimes, but I presume it's nothing.

        Besides, they're doing it for their own benefit by just making it so young people can save enough to take out a loan with them. This isn't even 5%, and won't last while people old enough to be excluded had double digit savings rate that lasted and a lot cheaper housing (even inflation and wage adjusted). Sorry that extra ~$200 a year can't buy you a 4th investment property.

          To be fair I work in banking, but am older at 40… but it’s only recently where I’m seeing age conditions on giving interest. The only reason they are doing it because this age group would be in the process of being home owners or recent home owners without loyalty and willing to jump ship. They know older people generally can’t be assed.

          Senior citizens getting discounts is a completely different thing. Not sure what your logic is or if you’re just taking the piss

          • pennypincher98 on 08/12/2022 - 00:43

            @BusMan247: I was referring to that also being "age discrimination" because some people can't see the underlying cause of this not being out of the good of the hearts to the youth lol.

          • ssfps on 08/12/2022 - 02:39

            @BusMan247: Senior citizens getting discounts is pretty much same thing, both are age based discrimination. Whether you think that kind of discrimination is ethical is another matter, and plenty of kinds of discrimination are legal.

              @ssfps: It’s kind of scary that you are thinking like that. I don’t think you’re trolling either.

              So to you, looking after oldies/seniors is just the same as the above? I’m lost for words. I guess for you, you’re the kind of person that needs to hit 70+years yourself to learn about this particular topic. Don’t worry mate, we all learn.

              • ssfps on 09/12/2022 - 02:25

                @BusMan247: @BusMan247
                1) i didn't say it's unethical to give seniors discounts, i didn't judge it either way.

                2) It appears you're confused about the definition of the word discrimination, it's not synonymous with "unfair" like you seem to believe, even if it's being used that way more and more.

                3) semantics aside, the biggest flaw with your reasoning is that you think seniors (and or young people?) deserve handouts simply for being of a particular age, rather than their actual need. If a 40 year old is in poverty, why should they pay full price, and if a senior is a multi millionaire, why shouldn't they? Why do you think age is so important a discriminator for financial assistance? I don't think you have a coherent view on the subject, you've possibly just watched too many "today tonight" episodes and get off on the indignation.

      Young people are facing the highest cost of living ever including higher taxes than any prior generation - with more than ever being spent on healthcare which is disproportionately for the older generations. Give em' a break and let em' have their +0.65% interest on savings under 50k lmao. At most, it's $325 a year.

      I got an email from UBank earlier today, their rate is going to 4.10% (incl. bonus interest). But I agree, still rookie numbers.

      A quick Google shows our economy is similar to Canada’s and NZ’s. Taking that at face value, their cash rates are 3.75% and 3.5% respectively. I’d say we have a ways to go yet. Not sure what their COVID stimulus response measures were, if we printed a lot more money than they did then our rates will have to go higher than theirs possibly.

      Bring on the extreme recession. I think it’s arguable that most of the growth the world has experience post GFC is largely driven by cheap money.

          +3

          The 50K limit is per account. There is no combined limit. One can have 9 accounts so theoretical maximum that would the attract the bonus rate would be 450K (50K each accross 9 accounts)

          • srslycbf on 07/12/2022 - 22:49

            @trashcan: "Bonus interest is paid on the total balance of all Saver accounts that are held in the same name. The amount of bonus interest you will earn is determined by the balance in your account." - BOQ

            Think of the 9 future accounts as 1 big account just subdivided. If you have up to 50k spread across 9 accounts whether it be evenly or not, you will earn the bonus interest of 4.75% based on balance of each account.

            If you have 50,001 to $250k spread across 9 accounts, even if the one future saver account out of the 8 is smack bang 50k, you will only receive the 2nd tier interest, being 3.00%.

            And over 250k is 0.05%

          You can also check in the app if you're eligible for bonus interest next month but I find there's a delay of a few days for it to show I've met the criteria.
