The Greater won the category of Term Deposit Long (over 360 days).
Greater marketing and advertising manager Rob Lavell said that he was thrilled to win the prestigious awards.
Mr Lavell said the Greater had focused its attention in recent years on offering its members very attractive savings and deposit accounts.
“The Greater is well known for its home loans and member rewards but this is also deserved recognition of its competitive savings products.”

The awards are given in the fields of investment, finance, banking and insurance. They were held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Sydney and were hosted by comedian, author, TV & radio personality, Adam Spencer.
