Put every dollar to work

Earn 2.6% p.a. variable on money your business isn’t using today. Without locking it away.

Set aside tax, payroll, working capital or a rainy-day buffer. Your money earns interest daily and stays within easy reach.

Growth account for your business

Every dollar in your Growth account earns 2.6% p.a. variable interest, calculated daily and paid into the account monthly.

The rate generally moves with the Reserve Bank’s Official Cash Rate (OCR). If it changes, you’ll see the new rate in the Emerge app straight away. No spreadsheets, no guessing.
