Iggemo on HomeME Savings Account 4.85% p.a. Interest on Balance up to $100,000 ($2,000 Monthly Deposit Required) @ ME Go App

And their customer service is pretty incompetent in my experience. Even closing an account is more painful than with most banks.

Apart from the larger diameter and much easier height adjustment than the smaller 300mm model, I'd say "approach with care"... I have the…
