First Option Bank memberships include three accounts to help you manage your money, easily and effectively...
Spend
When you get paid, your money goes in here and you move what you expect your bills to cost over to your Bills account ... what's left in your Spend account is what you can afford to spend.
Bills
The place to put the money for your expected costs each month. Set-up direct debits from here, or use your Visa card or BPay to pay bills when they roll on in. Secure banking tools and real-time SMS alerts are included to help you keep track of all the ins and outs.
Savings+Bonus
At the end of the month move what's left in your other accounts across to your Savings+Bonus account (2% p.a. base interest) and if that's $100 or more plus you make no withdrawals for the month... then you automatically qualify for the 3% p.a. Bonus interest too! That means you can now earn 5.00% p.a. variable interest on your regular, at call, savings up to $250,000.
