Do Australian banks offer a tiered interest rate for online savings accounts?
Yes, you can often find such savings offers from Australian banks, when the interest rate you earn varies depending on the balance of your account.
The rate on such deposits usually consists of a base rate, which does not depend on the size of the account balance, and a bonus to it, which is usually higher, the bigger the amount in the account.
Thus, depending on the balance, the bank can offer up to 5 or more interest rate options.
