Pros and cons

Pros

  • No monthly fee. Keeping the account costs nothing, whatever you deposit.
  • Pays interest. 3.30% on your balance, which most everyday accounts don't.
  • PayID. People can pay you with your phone number or email instead of a BSB and account number.
  • Phone payments. Works with Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay, so you can pay with your phone or watch.

Cons

Nothing stands out.
