Important information
^Elders branches are cashless. Fees may apply depending on the type of in-branch transaction. Refer to Ways to Bank for ways to transact on your account.
1 Interest is tiered and paid on full balance. Interest is calculated on opening daily balance and paid monthly.
2 Not available for personal or business use - available for non-government clubs, ‘not-for-profit’ or community groups only. You must provide evidence of the legal status of the entity, details of opening requirements available on application. Account application approval will be at Auswide Bank’s discretion.
*The Financial Claims Scheme (FCS) limit of $250,000 applies to the sum of an account holder’s deposits under each Authorised Deposit-taking Institution (ADI) and so includes accounts with any other banking businesses that the ADI may operate under a different name. Auswide Bank is an ADI and is prudentially supervised by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). Auswide Bank is a single banking institution, but may have branding arrangements with other entities (such as Elders). If you have an Elders product as well as a product branded as Auswide Bank Ltd, the combined total of these accounts will be counted towards your $250,000 limit.
