By Alison Banney Verified| Finder@ While it's true the highest interest rates are offered on savings accounts that have lots of different monthly conditions attached, you can still get a great rate on your savings with no conditions to meet at all. These accounts allow you to simply park your cash then set-and-forget while it earns interest.
By Alison Banney Verified| Finder@ Between the superannuation hacks and billions being wiped from the share market there's a lot going on with super right now. Here's how to stay on top of it.

By Alison Banney Verified| Finder@ If your savings account interest rate doesn't start with a 5, it could be time to switch to one that does. The RBA announced a cut to the cash rate in Febraury, and we've seen a lot of savings accounts cut their interest rates over the 6 weeks since. There's a really good chance your savings account interest rate has dropped from what it was at the start of the year. At the start of 2025 it was quite common to see interest rates starting with a 5.
