Whether you’re a 9-5 trooper or a part time ranger, to qualify you must have a regular income. This could be a wage or a salary - we just need to know your earnings are consistent.
YoYo.
If your YouChoose account is in overdraft, we expect that the amount you’ll owe us will fluctuate and reduce to zero from time to time. On the other hand if you are a saver, you can’t have more than $100,000 sitting in your savings at any given time. Also, because life happens, we will regularly review your YouChoose account to ensure this is occurring.

Yes, YouChoose is a savings account with a tailored, arranged overdraft limit, based on 2 months of your average income. However, you can select a lower amount to a minimum of $500 - the maximum is $10,000. If you'd prefer to focus on your savings check out our Direct Call Account for another great interest rate!
We’ll be in contact to let you know. You may be subject to what is called excess interest. If applicable, you will be charged interest at an excess interest rate on what you owe, over and above your overdraft limit. For full details see our T&Cs.
If you are having financial difficulty get in touch – we may be able to help. If you are unable to keep up your payments because of illness, injury, loss of employment, the end of a relationship, or other reasonable cause, you may be able to ask us to vary the terms of this agreement (we call this a Hardship Variation). For more information see our unforeseen hardship procedure.
To make it even easier for you, your card comes preloaded with a PIN. Although if you’d like to make this something a bit more personalised, just pop into any Heartland or Westpac branch with your ID.
