We'll keep it simple.
If you've got questions about money - how it works, how to use it, keep it, save it or give it away, we've got answers.

While the amount that you choose to save is up to you, a good guide is to get to know how your chosen account works, and plan your savings activity around making sure you meet the periodical account requirements in order to earn interest. For example, our Bonus Saver rewards you with interest when you make at least one deposit and no withdrawals in a calendar month.
Another good way to know how much you need to save is to work towards a savings goal. If you’re saving for something big, you’re more likely to be motivated to stick to a savings plan. Luckily, you’re able to plot and track your savings goal using our handy Savings Goal Calculator – get started now!
And if you simply want to know how much money out of your pay packet you’ll have leftover for saving, you’re able to track this using our Budget Calculator – try it now to see where you stand.
The way interest is paid on your Greater Bank savings account depends on the type of account you choose.
To find out how interest is paid on your account, please take the time to review the relevant Product Schedule, available via the link below:
Once you turn 25, you can continue to use your Life Saver Account as your savings account, earning bonus interest as long as your account balance continues to grow with at least one deposit each month.
Upon turning 25, however, you will no longer have access to transaction-fee-free everyday banking via a linked Access Account.
If you still want to enjoy transaction-fee-free banking after turning 25, our Ultimate Access Account offers this feature for customers who are able to deposit at least $2,000.00 per month (like your salary) into the account.
