About this episode

Chances are that right now, you have some amount of cash tucked in a savings account. But when was the last time you checked if it’s working hard enough?


In this episode, we take you through the top 5 savings accounts on offer right now in Australia. With two interest rate cuts, the list has changed since the start of 2025. 


Choosing the best HISA (High Interest Savings Account) is what Bryce calls, “The bread and butter of getting your finances sorted.” So break open a baguette and slather it in Lurpak- because after this episode, you can be sure to know if your savings are getting the best interest. 


We cover: 

  • Top 5 savings accounts in Australia 
  • Top 5 no-gimmick savings accounts in Australia (base rates)
  • Accounts you should avoid (Dishonourable Mentions) 
  • NO honeymoon rates - we’re not doing it. You’ll hear why.
