I was switching to that Up Bank (by Bendigo), but they straight refuse to let me fund my crypto account, so that’s out because I just want basic control of my own money.

I also have a Bank Australia account, but, while they like to pat themselves on the back about sustainability, their service and product is crap, imo.

So what else you got?

Edit: Just realised I should probably have posted this to AusFinance, but ah well!

No idea about crypto, but Great Southern Bank is excellent.

They are a “customer owned” bank - so all profits the bank generates from the money you deposit, fees you pay (there aren’t many fees) are returned to you, as both a customer and partial owner of the bank.

I think a lot of the ‘customer owned’ banks are usually good, they can be regional based as well. IE for Newcastle area Greater Bank and Newcastle Permanent Buildng Society both have lots of branches and good customer support for local. I used to like StGeorge until Westpac took them over, went downhill after that

Is it one of those situations where they’ve got so much bad press as CUA, that now they operate under a different name?
