Gateway’s Edge Transaction Account offers you the flexibility of simple, everyday banking that’s also kind on both your pocket & the planet.

 

An everyday account that does it all

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.
