Late on Friday afternoon Bank of Queensland lifted its popular 'Future Saver' account rate to 4.90% p.a.
This is a 15 basis point increase, which is noteworthy given the bank has largely stayed faithful to the RBA's 25 basis point increases.
The account is for those aged 14-35, with a maximum balance of $50,000.
To get the full rate, savers must deposit $1,000 a month and make five card transactions in the linked everyday transaction account.
Should savers fail to meet the criteria, the base rate of 0.05% p.a. applies.
Balances of $50,001 to $250,000 attract a total rate of 3.00% p.a.
The Smart Saver for customers aged 36 and over, with the same bonus criteria, was bumped up by 25 basis points to 4.25% p.a.
These changes come into effect Thursday 23 February.
