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 $5,500 saved in each financial year. This means the Government could pay up to $935 into your account each year.

Generally, to access your savings, you will need to make a minimum contribution of $1,000 each year for at least four financial years (these do not need to be made in consecutive years). Withdrawing your savings is tax-free, when used to buy or build your first home to live in.
