Ditto but completed online. PS: because I already had a savings account & this offer only applies to new accounts I opened a joint savings account & then transferred the balance from my original savings account to the newly opened joint savings account to get the offer.
Please correct if I'm wrong but I think the terms and conditions state to get the bonus interest the money deposited must be from an external FI.
3. Eligibility Criteria:
b. Eligible Deposit: A deposit is only deemed eligible if the funds being deposited into the Eligible Account have not been deposited in any account type with Meridian within the last one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to opening the Eligible Account. For additional clarity, Eligible Deposits must be transferred to an Eligible Account from a financial institution that is not Meridian or Aviso Wealth;

Really? I can open a joint account and enjoy a preferential interest rate of 4.7%.
That is correct.

I only had pennies in my personal Meridian savings account & transferred those pennies into the newly opened joint savings account before closing the personal savings account. I will now pull cash from another FI into the joint account & enjoy 4.7% for the next 122 days.

It's a pity... I only found out today... I'll do it next time... Thank you.

My husband successfully opened an account... but as an existing member, I am ineligible for the preferential interest rate.
I am a member since 2019.

The membership cannot be cancelled... I want to know if I will be charged a termination fee if there is no account inside, only the membership?

Does opening a joint account mean both people are members?

I did not have any accounts associated with my membership and there were no charges.

Yes, as on the joint application form it states "Member name" and "Joint member name".

I have been a member for many years & was eligible for the preferential interest rate so at least in my case being a member did not exclude me from getting the preferential interest rate.
