    FYI - Afterwards it is only 4.20%

      Thanks for checking

      Why don’t more large banks just offer a competitive rate of say 5% and cut out all the shenanigans? UBank can do it and they aren’t even the highest. Rabobank must think people will churn for 1.2% for four months and then forget to leave.

      Maybe they’re right.

      Where else can you put cash if you have maxed out UBank with similar condition to UBank?

        I think the next best is probably Me Bank with slightly more hoops to jump through. $2000 deposit and grow balance (+$0.01)

          Yeah the growing balance restriction is a bit of a showstopper. Especially with Me at $2000 a month.

          The account then is effectively a term deposit with hassles, you remove $1 and you lose that months interest.

        Maybe consider st george?
        Unfortunately need to increase balance as well.
        I split it into several accounts just in case i need to access some funds.

    I get 5.5% in ING

      Only if you ensure you make five transactions per month, deposit a thousand and increase your savings balance without fail.

        Ridiculous conditions.

        I've set up an automated $1000 monthly deposit into my ING account. Three days later, it transfers $995 back to my main (non ING) account, and $1 into my savings balance.

        The only thing I have to do manually is make 5 transactions.

        Once a month when I do a Coles shop, I do 5 split payments of $0.01. I have a monthly calendar reminder for this so I don't forget.

        It's a bit of a hassle to set it up, but once that's done it's very low effort.

    With Rabobank be prepared to waist a huge amount of time and send a lot of certified paperwork to their KYC mob.
    They are incompetent and relentless.
    And their preferred method of supplying all the personal and confidential information is scans of copies, certified by JP, through email. They say it is secure!

    • byrno on 22/07/2023 - 14:12

      I’ve had the exact same experience with ING. I’ve been trying to open my account there since January 2023! Many hours in total on the phone. Very frustrating, and it’s still not open yet.

        Yes ING is becoming just as bad.
        If everything goes well and you know the system enough so that you don't have to interact with a human, you will be ok.
        As soon as something goes wrong and you need to call them everything goes to sh!t.
        The problem is that they are all becoming like that. Even those that used to be good: Rabo, ING, ANZ. They are all hopeless now.
        Customer service doesn't exist any more. They do not care about complaints and bad reviews because they are all bad, so you don't really have a choice.

        I had a (still active) savings account from a decade ago with ING. I went to open a transaction account to be eligible for the new savings offer, and they told me I had to send certified copies of everything. Never got back to me after those shenanigans, so went to another back with less futzing around.

    5.5% now. This bank sends you a MFA token where you generate codes on rather than an app or sms.
