My current bank isn't super useful with internet banking, and with branches being as rare as hen's teeth, accessing service is too much of a hassle. So thinking to shift. Interested to know what you all think about these banks I'm thinking about shifting to.

  1. Bank Australia

Pro: Love the ethical/environmental stance, like that they trade under their own licence

Con: Not really sure how good their internet banking is.


  1. Ubank

Pro: certainly seems like the best for internet banking

Con: trade under NAB licence (is this really much of a problem though)


  1. Beyond Bank

Pro: only bank run for members, because it's an old credit union, have personal recommendations

Con: Don't know if they have better internet banking than even my current provider.


  1. Mystery Bank suggestions??

Pro: Perfect bank for me!

Con: Don't know about it yet.

Normal use accounts, no credit cards necessary, maybe savings accounts options would be a good idea, I think they would be.

Yeah it's the Scott Pape partitioning thing ,that's the main thing really. Anything else like what Ubank offers would be interesting bonuses. We don't open and close accounts often, it's just so hard to get hold of the current bank to change anything. We've got to somehow be in the same place, for a phone call during business hours in the week. That's hard to coordinate, or even remember to coordinate for people working and with kids.

You have gone from 'my' to 'we'. Single to joint account?

Bot much?

Yeah okay No1 you got me, after three years of sharing the same server the cats out the bag, I'm a bot and hot to trot. ;)

It's me understanding I'm on the internet and not wanting to give too many personal details away, only to follow along and completely forget that 'sage' advice 5 minutes later.
