The Members Equity Bank First Home Saver Account provides a simple way for Australians to save for their home with the help of Government contributions and low taxes.
Your savings will earn a high rate of interest from ME Bank in addition to the 17.00% p.a. Government contribution on your first $5,000 saved in each financial year. This means the Government could pay up to $850 into your account each year.
While there is no minimum contribution required to earn interest on your balance from ME Bank, you must save a minimum of $1,000 per financial year to receive a Government contribution.
Once you have held the account for a minimum of four financial years, you can withdraw your savings tax free to buy or build your first home to live in. Find out more about eligibility.
