  • What is a savings account?

    A savings account is a bank account where you can deposit your money and earn interest. It is a great way to save money, for a potential  emergency, or towards a goal like a holiday, new laptop or house deposit.

    The type of savings account you need will depend on your savings goals and other lifestyle factors so you should compare savings accounts to find the best one for you. 

  • How to open a savings account?

    To open a Future Saver, Smart Saver or Simple Saver account with BOQ, all you need to do is download the myBOQ app and choose which savings account you’d like! You’ll need your Australian phone number and Australian driver’s license or passport. After that, we’ll take it from there. Find out more about the myBOQ banking app here.

  • Can my savings account be a joint account?

    Yes, savings accounts can be opened with two people as joint owners. Once you’ve completed your application, we’ll send the other party a message with details on how to get started.  

  • How is interest calculated on savings accounts?

    Interest is calculated on BOQ savings accounts from the day funds are credited to your account and paid monthly. It is calculated daily by applying the applicable interest rate to the closing balance of your savings account each day as follows:

    Account daily closing balance x interest rate (per annum)/
    Number of days in the year (365 days)

    We will credit interest to your savings account at the close of business on the last day of each calendar month, and funds are available on the first day of the following month. 

    Some months have more days than others, which can affect the total dollar value of interest paid each month.

  • How to save money?

    A great way to get started with saving your money is to compare savings accounts on offer and find the right one for you. Look for savings accounts with high interest and minimal fees, which will allow you to earn and boost your savings. Creating a budgeting plan to manage your expenses is another great way to save money, as it will give you an idea of what your biggest expenses are and which areas you can cut down on.
