What is Goals?

It’s a feature in the NAB app that allows you to add a personal savings goal to any of your NAB iSaver or Rewards Saver accounts, helping you track your progress.

How to use Goals

It’s easy to create a goal for anything you’re saving towards. Simply give your goal a name, set your target amount, and the date you want to reach it. The NAB app will help you work out how much (and how often) you need to save, to reach your goal.

  1. Download and log into the NAB app.
  2. Go to the More menu and tap Goals and tap Create goal.
  3. Add a savings goal to any of your NAB iSaver or NAB Reward Saver accounts (one goal per account).
  4. Create a goal name (this will give your account name a new nickname).
  5. Set your goal by entering the date you want to reach your goal by and find out how much to set aside and how often.
  6. Check your progress in the NAB app to make sure you’re on track to reach your goal. You’ll also receive occasional messages about your goal progress to help you stay on track.
  7. Once you’ve reached your goal, you can remove the savings goal. Select the account and tap Finish goal.
  8. Rename your account’s nickname and stop or change any recurring payments.
  9. Continue using your account as normal or set up a new savings goal.
