Studying in Australia

As a full-time tertiary student, you need to make every cent count. Our student banking solutions are easy to use and will save you money.

We offer everyday accounts with no monthly withdrawal or account keeping fees* and a credit card** for students with no annual fee for the duration of your studies and an up to 55 days interest-free period on purchases.

To make your money last longer, we have an account that allows you to earn bonus interest and term deposits  to grow your savings.

You can also use NetBank to transfer funds, check balances or pay bills, or visit us in person – we have more branches on university campuses than any bank in Australia.

Open a student account before you leave for Australia or contact us for more information.
