Get the right account

As we grow, we need different accounts for each stage of our life to suit our changing needs. You wouldn't wear one set of shoes your whole life, would you? 

I want convenient banking

We all need that one account that we can open, use every day and not have to think about.

Whether it’s to start a new job, or just for your weekly essentials – you need a no-frills account and convenient access to your money.

The Greater Bank Access Account may be perfect for you – no account keeping-fees and low transaction fees.

You also don't have to worry about depositing a certain amount of money each month, letting you enjoy the convenience of your account without any of the hassle.

I want to avoid bank fees

If you prefer to do all of your banking out of one account, you don’t want your money being eaten away by fees.

Making frequent transactions shouldn’t cost you the earth.

The Greater Bank Ultimate Access Account could be just what you need – no transaction fees when you deposit at least $2,000 a month into the account.

So, just by using this account for your salary, you can make as many transactions as you please.

I want a retirement account

If you’re retired or nearing retirement age, you’ll understand the importance of great value.

You still need an account flexible enough to let you make your everyday purchases, but you want to make your money work as hard as possible.

If you want an account that works as hard as you have, the Greater Bank Retirement Plus account could be just what you need. 

Part everyday and part savings account, this account lets you access your money whenever you need it, but also earns interest.

Unlike other savings accounts, withdrawing money won't compromise your interest, so you're able to enjoy this new stage in your life with your account backing you up.

I have money to invest

Firstly, good for you!

Secondly, if you’ve got a sum of money lying around, you know that idle hands are the devil’s work.

If you want to put your money to work, you should consider a Term Investment.

Investing with Greater Bank offers a competitive interest rate, and as all deposits up to a total of $250,000 per NGM customer are government-guaranteed, you can invest with confidence.

Greater Bank also offers flexible terms, meaning you can choose how long you want to invest for and when your interest gets paid out.

If you're new to investing, you can invest your money for as little as a month or two.

If you feel like jumping in the deep end, you can invest for as long as five years.

I want a kids account

Parents will know that it’s important to set a good example for your children in all aspects of life.

Teaching them the value of money is no different.

Getting the right account will allow your child to begin saving their pocket money and learn about how money works.

Our Life Saver account gives your little one a place to put their pocket money and pays high interest when their balance grows each month, while not charging any account-keeping fees.

When a Life Saver is opened with a linked Access Account and monthly interest is earned on the Life Saver account, your kids can enjoy everyday banking free of transaction fees as well.

Unlike their clothes, this account grows with them.

While they'll need a helping hand at first, once they're old enough you can pass on the reigns and let them manage their account.

They'll still enjoy the benefits of their account until they turn 25, and you can rest easy knowing you've given them a great start.
