No hidden fees on our Edge Transaction Account means no nasty surprises when you open your statement – and keeps your money in your pocket, where it belongs!
Earn a bonus interest rate* when you simply deposit at least $2,000 each calendar month (from an external source), even if you withdraw the money.
With unlimited deposits and withdrawals, you can also access your funds on the go with a Visa Eco Debit Card1 - Australia's first plant-based debit card from a bank. Access your funds 24/7 via Online Banking and our Gateway App, with the ability to credit your salary into the account, pay bills using BPAY®, or schedule direct debits.
As a fee-free bank account, you can also feel safe in the knowledge that the funds in your Edge Transaction Account will not finance industries and/or activities that cause significant, detrimental impacts to the environment, as stipulated in Gateway's Ethical Banking & Investment Policies.
Overdraft Availability^
If you would like the added option of an overdraft to your Edge Account, simply submit an Edge Overdraft application. An Edge Overdraft allows you access to extra funds up to $20,000 (subject to credit approval), giving you the flexibility of an everyday banking account with a financial safety net when you need it, without being charged overdrawn penalties.
The bonus interest is earned on top of the standard interest rate.
The promotional interest rate is available to existing Edge Transaction Account holders, new to bank members, and existing Gateway members with no call deposit relationship. It is a fixed interest applied to the account only when the bonus interest eligibility conditions are met. Promotional interest rate is available until 30 June 2024 and is subject to change.
