Why Discovery Bank is the bank for you

Discovery Bank does banking differently. And because we do banking differently, you get unique benefits and rewards. Whether you choose a day-to-day transaction account, a credit card that does it all, or get the power of both with our full banking suite, you'll get the rewards you deserve for managing your money well.

Here's why you'll love banking with us:

1. You share in the value you create

We're a shared-value bank designed to share the value that you create by managing your money well, back with you through unprecedented interest rates, retail and travel discounts, as well as many other lifestyle and shopping rewards.

2. You can improve your finances

Through Vitality Money, you get the tools to become financially healthier. When you join, we'll give you a Vitality Money status based on how you're doing across five financial behaviours:

  1. Spending less than you earn.
  2. Saving regularly.
  3. Paying off property.
  4. Investing over the long term.
  5. Making sure you have the right insurance in place.

Once you get a Vitality Money status, we'll help you improve your financial health through nudges, targets, and a range of tools. Plus, when you improve your status, you improve your rewards.

3. You save more and pay less with Dynamic Interest Rates

Wouldn't it be great if your bank offered you better interest rates when you manage your money well? Discovery Bank does just that. Now, for the first time, you can control your interest rates. Get a lower borrowing rate, a higher interest rate on your savings, and a higher interest rate on money in your everyday account when you manage your money well. Plus, you'll have access to a range of savings options to choose from and be able to negotiate personalised rates on large deposits.

4. You can boost your Vitality rewards

By managing your money well, you'll improve your Vitality Money status. With Discovery Bank, a higher Vitality Money status means you'll enjoy boosted Vitality rewards like:

  • Up to 75% back on HealthyFood items from Pick n Pay or Woolworths
  • Up to 50% back on HealthyCare purchases from Clicks or Dis-Chem
  • Up to 100% savings on gym membership.
  • Up to 75% off fitness devices and Nike performance gear.

5. Your Discovery Miles are more valuable than cash

Discovery Miles* is Discovery's one rewards currency that you can earn for getting healthy, driving well and spending responsibly. There are so many ways that you can earn thousands of Discovery Miles each month. And as a Discovery Bank client, you'll get more ways to earn and spend Discovery Miles than ever.
