Financial Solutions

Students & Apprentices

It's a great time of life but money can be tight. Here are ways we can help.

 

Student / Apprentice Account

An everyday account like you're used to but with special cost savers:

  • no account keeping fees
  • no ATM fees
  • free internet and phone banking
  • free Advice Centre deposits and withdrawals
  • free BPAY
  • free direct debits
  • free EFTPOS

 

eAccess Savings Account1

The 'e' stands for electronic. Transfer any spare cash into eAccess via the phone or net and earn high interest on every cent. When you need it, transfer it back to your everyday Student / Apprentice account for instant access. 

  • high interest rate
  • no fees for deposits and withdrawals done via phone or net
  • funds available instantly

A great way to make rapid savings for that trip to Europe, new furniture, or a car.

Visa Credit Card2

Students and apprentices can obtain a special Visa credit card with a limit from as little as $500. This way it's handy in an emergency but you're not going to get yourself into trouble.

  • one of Australia's lowest interest rates
  • up to 44 days interest free on purchases

Visa Debit Card3

If you don't want a credit card just yet, but you do want all the functionality of one, a Visa debit might be what you're after.

  • book tickets, hotels and flights on the phone or internet like a credit card
  • it uses your own money, not credit
  • no credit checks required
  • you can use it in ATMs and EFTPOS like an ordinary card

  • cheaper than a Personal Loan
  • no establishment fee
