Transaction Accounts Hints And Tips

These are everyday accounts used to manage your finances. Most people tend to make many transactions during the month and thus, interest rates are negligible on most transaction accounts.

Transaction account fees normally take the form of a fixed monthly account keeping fee or fees charged by the type and number of transactions.

Differentiating factors for a transaction facility, apart from its fees and charges, are the convenience of accessing facilities such as branch access, cash withdrawals, EFTPOS, ATMs, cheques, direct debit, Bpay or debit card.

Before choosing a transaction account, determine the various ways you transact. A flat monthly fee may be best if you transact often, whereas a pay-as-you-go fee structure may suit you better if your transactions are limited.

Another clever way to grow your money is to link your transaction account to one paying a higher interest such as an online account. Keep only the amount you need to live on in the transaction account and send the rest to the savings account.
