Answer first

Product labels do not prove how an account works. Compare only the mechanics explicitly stated in each lender’s current product disclosure sheet.

How to decide

Avoid market-wide assumptions about linked accounts or withdrawals. Record each product’s documented interest basis, fees, redraw conditions, minimum amounts and processing time in separate rows.

A practical process

Open the current PDS; quote no unstated mechanic; date the record; compare matched features; suppress any cell that the disclosure does not answer.

Limits and next step

This is not a product saving claim; only the lender’s current documents determine treatment. Check the linked primary source and its captured date before making a commitment.
