The Boost handy helpers
The savings you could make will depend on your own Boost amount and how often you make a transaction. To give you an idea of just how powerful small savings can be here’s an example from our customers.
On average, our customers have saved an extra $2,000 a year. They do this by simply setting up a $2 Boost on their Great Southern Bank Transaction accounts and making three transactions a day. A great saving for paying an extra $6 into your savings account each day!
You can switch The Boost on and off and easily increase or reduce your boost amount in online banking. Changes are instant and you can make as many as you like. The Boost is designed to adapt to your lifestyle so you can try different amounts and discover what fits you best.
If you have a debit account, The Boost won’t leave you short. If you don’t have the required available funds in your transaction account, The Boost won’t come out.
The Boost is smart enough to know when your funds are low, so you don’t have to worry about switching it off yourself.
If you have an overdraft account or a line of credit, your Boost will still work when your funds are running low. It’s important to note that if The Boost takes an Overdraft or Line of Credit account into a debit balance, interest will be payable.
