Auto-Savings FAQs

How do I get started with Auto-Savings?

Easy! If you’re eligible for Auto-Savings, you’ll receive an invitation to set it up via your Inbox.

Open your MyState Bank Mobile App and simply follow the prompts to activate Auto-Savings on your account and start saving!

Activating Auto-Savings is not currently available via Internet Banking, but you can still view your Auto-Savings information.

How do I know if I’m eligible for the Auto-Savings feature?

To be eligible for the Auto-Savings feature, you must have at least one of the following active transaction accounts:

  • Glide
  • Everyday
  • Access
  • Basic
  • Fee Cruncher
  • The Only
  • Youth
You’ll also need an active savings account. But don’t worry, if you don’t have one already you can open one in the Auto-Savings set up menu.

I can’t see the Auto-Savings feature in the app, is something wrong?

There are a few reasons you may not see the Auto-Savings feature.

  1. You may not meet the eligibility criteria above
  2. We may not have enough data to determine if you can safely save. Our Auto-Savings feature requires at least 4 months of account activity to analyse and predict your spending habits and identify any savings opportunities.
  3. You might already be a gun saver! If you’re already saving regularly (go you!), our Auto-Savings feature will automatically determine that you don’t need any extra help.
  4. We might not be able to find any extra dollars to save for you. The Auto-Savings feature analyses your spending to identify savings opportunities, but if it can’t find any you won’t be able to activate the feature.

I’m expecting a few more expenses next month, will I still be able to save?

We’ll never transfer more than we think you can afford based on your recent transaction history, but if you’re expecting a change to your usual spending habits, you can pause, play or stop the Auto-Savings feature at any time. Pause for 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month or 3 months, it’s up to you!

How much will I save per month?

Our Auto-Savings feature uses your account activity and predicted “money in versus money out” to determine how much you can save each month, so the amount you will save depends entirely on your spending habits! You’ll see a preview of how much we expect you to save in the Auto-Savings set up menu on the MyState Mobile Banking App.

How often does Auto-Savings transfer money to my savings account?

The frequency of Auto-Savings transfers depends on how often you’re using your account. Auto-Savings will review and analyse your account every day and take action if it detects any extra dollars for saving. This means you could be saving daily, weekly, or monthly depending on how much (and how often!) money is coming in and going out of your account.

Can I set up Auto-Savings with a joint account?

Yes! You just need to make sure that your nominated savings account is also owned jointly, with the exact names that appear on your joint transaction account.

Joint account holders have equal control of the Auto-Savings feature, and they can pause, resume or stop Auto-Savings at any time.

Can I transfer money from my savings account back into my transaction account if I need to?

Of course, the Auto-Savings feature doesn’t change the way you access your savings account and you’re still 100% in control of the money you save.

You can move money out of your savings and back into your transaction account at any time, just as you can manually top up your savings if you want to move more money over.
