Requirements
- Variable rates apply to portions of the balance. Interest is calculated daily on cleared end-of-day balances using the annual rate divided by 365, and credited on or about the last day of each month.
- No regular monthly account-keeping fee. New members receive an Everyday Direct transaction account when opening savings, also with no monthly account-keeping fee. Other service and transaction charges may apply.
- Deposits over $5,000,000 in aggregate across savings and transaction accounts are subject to bank acceptance. A single account balance does not establish aggregate eligibility.
- No monthly deposit, balance-growth, card-purchase or withdrawal-count bonus test. At-call withdrawals do not forfeit the advertised interest.
- Open up to nine Essential Saver accounts for separate goals. A prolonged nil balance may lead to closure after reasonable notice.
Fees
- Monthly account fee: $0
Showing reviewed fees only, other charges may apply
How to apply
Check these eligibility requirements before applying with Firefighters Mutual.
- Australian citizen or permanent resident with an Australian residential address and satisfactory identity checks.
