Up is an up and coming neobank shaking things up for Australians who love to bank from their smartphones! Its Everyday Account comes with no account or network ATM fees, unlimited free transactions via its iOS or Android app and a round up feature to help you boost your savings balance.
On top of that, the account's an award winner! The Everyday Account took out a 2021 Mozo Experts Choice Award in the Exceptional Everyday Account category, while Up also received separate awards for Banking Innovation and Excellent Banking App.
Let’s start by talking about what makes Up Bank’s Everyday account a little bit different: it’s round-up feature. This feature works by rounding up each purchase you make with the linked debit card to the nearest dollar and transferring the difference to your linked Up Bank Saver Account. This can be great for making incremental additions to your savings, which may add up over the long run and make a real difference to your stash.
On top of this neat feature, the account comes with a number of other perks, such as unlimited free transactions via the iOS or Android app. The account also has no minimum balance required to open it and can be linked up with a BPAY account for making payments.
Plus, the account comes with no ongoing fees and no network ATM fees, so you won’t have some monthly fee slowly chipping away at your hard-earned cash. It could even make a handy travel money companion, as there are zero international ATM withdrawal fees plus a 0% foreign exchange commission.
Special bonus offer: Automatically receive $10 into your account when you sign up for a new Up account using the code MOZOUP10.
Anyone looking for an alternative option to the big four banks, which brings a little bit of innovation to the field may find Up Bank to be the bank for them. Thanks to the round up feature, this account might also be perfect for you if you want to start saving your spare pennies without even thinking about it.
Up is a digital only bank, which means there's no branch access with this account - you can only access your account through the app. So if you do like to have the option of face-to-face customer service, this one might not be for you.

Totally inconvenienced when I needed to make a withdrawal. Made to take a selfie for security...?! Unacceptable. Withdrawing my money ASAP and cancelling account.

I love everything about up. Their app is simple and easy to use.

My son tried to open an UP account. Apparently a Medicare card and Birth certificate won't suffice for ID, at least that's what the UP app is saying. He doesn't have a passport and no 16 year old in Queensland has a drivers license. To be honest that's pretty pathetic. They don't have a branch network, their only option is online verification. Yet a 16 year old without a passport can't fulfil their verification criteria. To quote UP support "If he can't be verified online he won't be able to open an account." Well thanks for wasting everyone's time!

I like UP bank because it’s not one of the major 4 banks being part of Bendigo bank. Their savings program of rounding up transactions is clever and you save money without even noticing. The app is very user friendly and full of convenient features. The only con is ATM fees, but great for online.
