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.

With ING, happily their app works on graphene OS.

I would drop them as fast as possible if that changes.

Lol, you and Graphene OS, you've talked about it so much these last few months. Did you switch to it this year? I haven't gone down that road because I didn't want to get a Pixel, looks like those options are expanding though. I looked at Sailfish OS with a Jolla phone, but maybe for the next phone they'll be less rarefied, or I'd go fairphone.


Hadn't considered ING, are they easy to open and close accounts?

Been using it since 2023.

I thought it was one of the traits of the fediverse along with Linux.

Yes as easy to make an account as others I've tried in the past. (CBA, NAB, ANZ)

Haha, I think Graphene OS is. I hear so much in general about it on Lemmy. I definitely get the idea I'm the odd one out, not you, I'm still not sure how my tech-illiterate arse ended up here. 😆
