Why open a Bump Savings account?

Getting into the habit of regular saving can help you build some serious money skills

A Bump savings account is a great way to get started – set up and personalise some goals2 to track towards, and when you put some money aside regularly to grow your savings, you’ll also be rewarded with bonus interest1.

Smarter banking

Pay zero fees

A Bump Savings account won’t charge you any account keeping or transaction fees3, so every dollar you put into your account will help your savings grow.

Get rewarded for saving

You’ll still earn interest even when you dip into your savings. If you grow your account balance by the end of the month, you’ll also get bonus interest1.

Keep tabs on your spending as well

Open a Westpac Choice everyday account as well for your everyday spending, and you can keep track of both your saving and spending all in the one place in the Westpac App.

The award-winning Westpac App can help in more ways than you’d expect

Set up long or short-term savings goals2, and visually track your progress.

The Westpac App is an easy and secure way to keep tabs on your spending and savings wherever you go, with more than 100 features to help look after your cash. It looks good too.

Setting savings goals2 can help you stay in the zone

You’re more likely to reach your savings goals if you’re clear about what you’re saving for. This savings account comes with a handy goals feature that lets you set and personalise up to six savings goals with just the one account. You can name your goal, decide how much you need to save and by when. Once set up, track your progress any time in the Westpac App.
 

Stack the odds in your favour

Here’s a fun fact. Customers with an automated savings deposit are 2x more likely to reach their savings goals.

How do I earn bonus interest on my Bump Savings account?

Bonus interest is payable each month that you:

  • Make a deposit to the account;
  • Ensure your account balance is higher at the end than the beginning; and
  • Keep your account balance above $0 at all times.

For bonus interest qualification, a month is the period from close of business on the last business day of the previous month to close of business on the last business day of the current month.

When is interest paid to my Bump Savings account?

Interest is paid on the last business day of each calendar month. Balances in your account on and after the last business day won't be included in the interest calculation for that month but will be included in the interest calculation for the following month. Balances include deposits made to your account.
