Serious about saving? We’re serious about helping.

Now you can earn an explosively high interest rate without depositing thousands of dollars. It’s simple – it’s B&E Personal Banking’s Serious Saver.

It’s a serious kind of savings account - one that helps you resist the temptation of making withdrawals, whilst encouraging you to make regular monthly deposits. To top it all off, we’ll reward your serious saving with a seriously impressive interest rate, paid monthly.

Just follow three simple steps:

1. Open a Serious Saver account with a minimum deposit of $50

2. Deposit at least $50 a month

3. Make no withdrawals

It really is seriously simple...
