Boost your savings with flexiRates, with no account keeping or transaction fees.
If you have more money in savings than you’ll need for your short-term expenses, you can set aside a portion of it at a higher fixed interest ratethan the unlocked portion.
For example, if you’ve got $10,000 saved but only need $2,000 in the near future, you can apply a 6-month flexiRate (with no additional account keeping or transaction fees!) to the unused $8,000 and earn more interest on that balance than you do on the $2,000. Simple!
