What is Spaces?
Spaces is a feature within the NAB app that helps you save for all your financial goals, dreams and plans.
With Spaces, you can create virtual savings jars all linked to your NAB iSaver or Reward Saver account, so you can save for all the things that matter to you.

-
Spaces can only be linked to a NAB iSaver or NAB Reward Saver account held by a sole account holder. Spaces cannot be linked to transaction accounts or jointly held savings accounts.
When you create your first Space, you need to nominate one of your savings accounts to be linked to all your Spaces. This includes Spaces you plan on creating in the future.
-
The balance of your linked account can be allocated to your Spaces so you can divide your savings amongst your different goals and priorities.
There are several ways you can transfer money in Spaces:
- One-off transfer from your nominated savings account to a Space.
- One-off transfer from a Space to your nominated Savings account.
- One-off transfer from one Space to another Space.
Your linked account must have funds available in order to move these into your Spaces.
If there is a debit on the nominated savings account, the amount gets debited from the unallocated funds in the linked savings account first. The amount will then be debited from the individual Spaces (in the order of latest creation date) until the amount is fulfilled.
You can continue to transfer money to your Space after you have reached your target. Your Space will remain active until you close them individually.
You cannot transfer money to multiple Spaces at once, and recurring transfers are currently unavailable.
-
If you want to close a Space, it must have zero funds in it. You can achieve this by transferring the remaining funds from the Space to your nominated savings account. After this, you can follow these instructions to close the Space.
- Select the Space you’d like to close.
- Select Edit.
- Select Close this Space.
Once a Space is closed, it will no longer be viewable or show on the Your Spaces page.
