Eliminate Bank Fees
Monthly account fees of $5–10 are pure overhead. ING, Up Bank, and HSBC all offer genuinely free everyday accounts with competitive interest rates. There is no reason to pay monthly bank fees in Australia.

How to do it
1
Check your current account fees. Look at your bank app or statement. Any monthly "account keeping fee" is money you're paying for nothing.
2
Compare fee-free options. ING Savings Maximiser, Up Bank, and HSBC Everyday Global are the most popular zero-fee accounts in Australia.
3
Open the new account. Most open entirely online in under 10 minutes. No branch visit needed.
4
Switch your direct debits. Update your employer payroll and any automatic payments to the new account before closing the old one.
