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!
Is it one of those situations where they’ve got so much bad press as CUA, that now they operate under a different name?
According to this article it was because they were losing too many potential customers to banks. Their market research suggested over half of Australians didn’t even know what a credit union was and that number was even higher among young people.
They consistently rank as one of the best banks in Australia on every comparison.
Hardly anyone knows what a Credit Union is - that’s why they removed it from the name (it is still a credit union. And a credit union is a type of bank).
I have no experience with any of the other banks that score as well as Great Southern, they’re probably good too but I’m so happy I don’t want to switch. I went through close do a dozen banks before finding this one.
