If you don't know what a neobank is, they're online banks that are 100% digital. They do not have physical branches and are not constrained by legacy systems. Some others include Up, Volt and Xinja.

Account names are Pay and Save.

$1k deposit per month into either account will give you 2.25% on Save (1.85% bonus, 0.4% base) up to $100k. That's double Up Bank's limit at the same rate and with an arguably better bonus rate condition (Up requires 5 card purchases per month).

Compatible with Apple, Google, Samsung, Fitbit and Garmin Pay.
There's also an Osko logo on that page. They are listed on NPPA's website.

Their app: Android, iOS.

They do NOT rebate ATM fees. Their page says "Free at over 10,000 Australian bank ATMs", which is probably just counting the networks owned by the big 4.

You can add other institutions' accounts to the app to see all your funds in one place (similar to AMP).

They do not seem to have an internet banking portal yet for access on desktops or mobile browsers. Your accounts can only be accessed on the app on your phone.

    I would definitely preference Up over 86400, recently had a play around with the 86400 app and it’s nowhere near as polished/user friendly as the Up app.

      TL;DR Westpac's systems failed to detect an attack lasting 45 days at 1900 lookups a day.

      When you you enter a PAYID such as an email address or phone number, the system confirms you have the right person by displaying part of their name. This can be (and in this case, definitely was) abused to confirm/match names with known email addresses or phone numbers.

      If you're concerned about this, you can have fast payments with traditional BSB and account number without PayID. Most banks with NPPA have PayID as an opt in feature.

        • bluesky on 11/09/2019 - 15:56

          Agree with this. My Up Bank app was unusable after some updates a while back. Could not bank, until some uninstall and re-install and some verification - a bit annoying and a distraction when it was least expected.

          Enough feedback, and maybe they will also provide a desktop interface.

      Oh it’s a new bank? I thought someone O.D.’d at marketing school and vomited into their post.

      Rabobank's 2.75% on their HISA is a 4 month honeymoon rate.

      BoQ has intolerable legacy tech. 86 400 offers the same rate with digital wallet support + NPPA at the cost of having a lower cap on the bonus rate balance ($100k vs 250k, but it's still better than Up's $50k and with a less annoying bonus rate condition).

      Since they're a neobank, they should be able to add new features much faster than banks burdened with legacy systems.

      BoQ also specifically states you have to deposit the $1k into the transaction (Day2Day) account. 86 400 doesn't care which one you deposit into.

      • ocoolio on 11/09/2019 - 08:17

    UBank's sweep feature also allows direct debit bills to be paid with the "$0 in the transaction account" trick, so your money stays in the savings account earning every last cent of interest until the due date.

    What does that mean?

    • non-core promise on 11/09/2019 - 08:35

      https://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/UBank

      See points 4 and 7 of "highlights maximising your interest", Q5, Q6, Q10 and Q11.

      The live sweep feature means if there are insufficient funds in the transaction account, the difference will be seeped from the savings account. Applies to savings transactions, direct debit, ATM withdrawals, etc. Doesn't work for credit transactions and some others. See the Whirlpool wiki for the details.

      In the end it's only a few cents of interest vs letting $100 sit in the transaction account.

      • coolsteps on 11/09/2019 - 09:43

        thanks for making us aware of this. So you mean to say we can keep that balance at $0 and when a direct debit is processed to pay off i.e $120 credit card balance is processed it will simply do the sweep and withdraw the funds from the linked savings account and we wont get charged a dishonor fee?

        • blueyez on 15/10/2019 - 01:23

        "In the end it's only a few cents of interest vs letting $100 sit in the transaction account."

        True, if you only have $100. If you have direct debuts in the thousands (e.g. paying off your credit card every month, etc.) then it starts to become a factor. E.g. Keeping $1000 in your transaction account would mean $24pa lost interest.

        Especially considering the 0.09% difference between these guys and UBank would equate to $90, if you had the full $100k.

        • Nom on 11/09/2019 - 18:15

          If you have direct debits in the thousands, you still only need to leave $100 in the transaction account.
          UBank automatically tops-up the transaction account from the savings account whenever a debit occurs.

    Nice, thank you for the post :)
    Do you know if BOQ has a "$0 in the transaction account" trick?(I use them now due to seeing it here on the HISA top list).
    Also, I'd switch to this bank if you know if you can debit form the account receiving the 2.5%?

    • non-core promise on 11/09/2019 - 09:23
      +2

      BoQ does not have a sweep feature, so you can't have $0 and still transact with live sweeps.

      https://www.boq.com.au/content/dam/boq/files/terms-and-condi…

      Fast Track accounts have "N/A" for direct debits, but they allow direct credit. So you can transfer in directly to the savings account, but their bonus condition requires the minimum monthly deposit to go through the transaction account first.

      Most people are not using this account for everyday banking. They're using it to park money, but still be able to access it at anytime since it doesn't have a "no withdrawals" condition.

      • obavatar on 11/09/2019 - 09:37

        Thanks Scalebearer.
        Yeah I think it's great and use the direct credit. But it would be too annoying moving the money back to the chequing account each month for mortgage repayments (line of credit not an option for me unfortunately). So I just leave a small amount there. But same issue applies to anyone's general debits.
        I've messaged this bank re debits from the savings account.
