How the Finder Score helps you find a better savings account

The Finder Score is a simple score out of 10. The higher a savings account's score, the better we think it is for the average customer.

We score each savings account in our database of hundreds based on a data-driven methodology with 2 main criteria: Does the account offer a high interest rate? And is it easy for savers to actually earn that rate?

Quick facts about Adelaide Bank

  • Adelaide Bank was established in 1994 as an innovative community bank.
  • In 2007 it merged with Bendigo Bank, another community bank, to find more ways to benefit its customer shareholders around Australia.
  • Together Bendigo and Adelaide Bank form one of Australia's larger banks, giving Adelaide Bank the security of a high-investment security rating in addition to a government deposit guarantee.

What are the pros and cons of banking with Adelaide Bank?

The main downside of the Adelaide Bank accounts (different from Bendigo and Adelaide Bank accounts) is that they are exclusively for existing home loan customers only. The options are also limited to a single versatile account for each account type, rather than a wide range of different account options, often offered by other providers.

Pros

  • Simple account options
  • Accessible accounts with low minimum deposits
  • Local bank for the SA community, but backed by a larger bank

Cons

  • Only available to existing Adelaide Bank home loan customers
  • Only one account option for each type
  • Deposit rates are lower than what you can earn elsewhere

How do I apply for an Adelaide Bank account?

To open an account, get in contact with Adelaide Bank either over the phone or online. In order to apply, you will need to have a home loan with Adelaide Bank and will therefore generally also need to:

  • Be at least 18
  • Be a resident of Australia
  • Have secured residential address

If you haven't found what you're looking for yet, you can compare a wide range of additional savings accounts and bank accounts from other providers with Finder.
