Sticky: Top 6 savings accounts to make you money

There are a lot of high interest savings accounts on the market – some better then others, the problem however is trying to sift through the sea of savings accounts on offer and choosing the right one for your requirements.

Some savings accounts will offer introductory rates to incentivise you to join them, while others will consistently remain as industry leaders with their high interest rates for the whole time you are with them.

In the interest of helping our readers, we have put together a small list of savings account providers that we believe to be of the highest quality, highest return rates while maintaining the customer service that we need from time to time.

ANZ Online Saver

The ANZ Online Saver offers competitive interest rates, a big bank peace of mind, no minimum balance and best of all lets you transfer funds 24/7 between your linked ANZ account.

St.George Directsaver

I personally really like the St.George Directsaver accounts, I actually have 6 of them! I seperate my different savings plans into accounts that are linked to my St.George account. St.George have always given me great customer service and will continue to be my everyday bank for years to come. The St.George Directsaver accounts are just an added bonus for me!

RaboPlus High Interest Account

The RaboPlus account is quite unique. They offer advanced security measures to ensure your money is tightly locked away, something that is very handy for those of us who cannot resist the urge to splurge! I have had a RaboPlus account for around 2 years now, I use it for the money I want to save but not have access to within 12 months – in fact, that is where I started saving for my trip in 2010 early this year. The RaboPlus account offers great interest rates and security – enough said!

ING Direct Savings Maximiser

The ING Direct Savings Maximiser is the grand daddy of high interest accounts, in a good way! They really did help develop the high interest market from years ago, offering great variable rates, no fees and security that was unrivalled. I am actually yet to try the ING Direct Savings Maximiser, though I am told by my close friends and family that they love it – so it gets the big tick from us!

HSBC Online Savings Account

No hidden fees, no monthly catches – just pure and utter HSBC Online Savings Account. Perfect for people who do a lot of international travel as they can also integrate your savings accounts with other beneficial accounts for people on the dash.

Suncorp eOptions Savings

No minimum terms, no contracts, high rates, no minimum balance – Suncorp eOptions Savings is clearly the lesser known of all of the above high interest rates but definitely worth a look when comparing savings accounts.
