Terrible!
Don't know how it can be a full online bank! Can’t even verify my account - Drivers license, Passport and Medicare card all failed. Still waiting for a reply of my email sent six months ago! Extremely poor customer service! Funnily you can transfer money 'in' without verifying your account but cannot transfer 'out' without verification! Stay away!

USAVER, beware they won't allow you to withdraw money or update your details
Online bank with antiquated practices. I spent 50 minutes on the phone being told I can not access my money without a confirmation letter arriving VIA POST.... What?!
No customer service what so ever! The only word in their vocabulary is "can't"

Terrible service, ask for a Manager dont waste your time
I was told my mortgage can be paid with excess funds in a redraw facility. This was false, they took my funds then expected me to make the monthly payment and blocked my redraw facility. This happened with back to back months, I was expected to fill in a form to release what was due (insist not to pay the $45 fee!)... a complaint to the financial ombudsman still not resolved, escalated the matter beyond the call centre operators and still another form had to be completed - to access over $30,000 in my redraw facility! Meanwhile dishonoured lett...Read more
ers in the mail and on my statements... Setting up direct debit is fine but to change it is a nightmare! There collections department Advantage is the only way to resolve issues and that's who I had to speak too. UBank is a budget bank with a budget operation clearly they have no idea, just expect to do the basic payments but I will be looking elsewhere and so should you. This is why people stay with the big banks so they don't have to deal with incompetence! Time to refinance and end this nightmare!

Fantastic Interest Rates. Fast Twitter Support.
I left Ubank for CUA because ubank did not offer POLi payments online which i needed for some online Australian sites. Other than that Ubank is a self sufficient online banking service with expense income graphs online.

Brilliant!
I have had a USaver account connected to a transactions account (which I don't use). I pay no fees whatsoever and as long as I add $200 a month, I get a huge interest rate of 2.87% every month (2016-1017).
This is way better than any other savings accounts and better than most term deposits and I can pull the cash out any time without loosing any money or interest already earned. The website is user friendly and it is easy to transfer money out to my accounts with other banks.
I honestly think this is the best safe savings option in Austra...Read more

Can't access my own money!
Avoid this so called bank at all costs! Can't update address or new phone number over the phone which means you have to print out a form, fill it out and then take it to a post office with 100 points of id then wait for ubank to receive it and update your details before you can access your own money. I am with two other banks that updated my details over the phone with no problems at all. It has been 2 weeks I have not been able to transfer money from my account and I can't wait to be able to close my account even though I'm sure that will be a whole new drama!

Never had a problem after 7 years
put money in, took money out, took out a home loan, read and understood their procedures and never had a problem after 7 years. Always given appropriate advice on phone help.

it can ruin your purchase
I was trying to use Ubank to buy a house. After I submitted all the documents they wanted, they kept asking new documents. After I submitted all the extra documents, the processing stops there .. so I went to CBA and got my mortgage done in 2 hours, then I deleted the application there, then they called me and said my mortgage paper is done.... what a time waster, I m not going to use them anymore.

Find another bank
App is rubbish & keeps logging me off, can't transfer money so what's the point of having the app? their customer service is of no help & just read off a sympathy sheet.
They watch your spending habits & lock your account if it's outside what they consider normal. EG they have locked me out multiple times due to me travelling to different state & making a purchase at 10pm, no email/SMS to warn me as I only find out the next day when I'm declined when making a purchase.
Can only withdraw max $1000 cash as they have no physical branches.

After 8 years of not been with this bank they still send me emails. Even the customer service could not close the account. I even tried to unsubscribe. I even rang up customer service and gave all my personal details. No wonder I took my money out of that bank. The service is terrible!! Be warned, don't go with this bank or they will never leave you. Just like a bad smell.

Transaction takes forever
It used to have good rates but now other banks are catching up, closing the gaps therefore there only competitive advantage are vastly diminished. It is really not worth it if you need to transfer money in and out especially running a business.

Worst Bank Ever!
I answered all the security questions correctly in an effort to transfer some money but they have blocked my account because I don't sound my age??? I now have to take time off work to go to the post office so I can verify who I am even though I have already done this. Do not open an account with this bank if you want access to your money! I have given one star because you have to but it deserves -5 stars!

Can't even access my own money!
Online Verification doesn't work! Have to go into post office which obviously I have to take work off for an hour to do. Completely defeats the purpose of a bank with no branches! Didn't even know I was not verified or that I had to do this before I could access my own money, until I needed to withdraw some of it in which case I am told that I am debit blocked. Then the site won't allow me to verify myself and continues to sign me out for no reason. Since this will take several days I am late paying the bill that I needed to pay.

Negative stars-atrocious, appalling, insert every bad description here.
Initially I had a verbal accessment and tentative approval for $450k loan, but the person on the phone said if I wanted to use equity from an existing loan, I should do that first, then get the new loan for the new purchase. how long does this take, I asked, oh, a few weeks, 2 perhaps 3. Then start applying for the new loan immediately with a new open portal.
Ok, fast forward 3 months, and I am arguing with some new person on the phone again... what is taking so long??! No drawdown, no new loan. I had to upload my documents 3 times at the ...Read more

Broken Vending Machine of Banks.
Clear title, wanting to use funds for purchase of additional property, initially told 2 weeks max to draw down, currently into 3rd month, missed out on 2 highly suitable properties in the meantime. Discharge of mortgage provided with clear title, still wanted proof property had been paid out. no contact from lender with out provoking a response from them. I have been told today, 28/3 additional documents to be signed and sent in the next 5-7 days. Unable to return CT to me without following discharge process. Very frustrating and misleading pr...Read more
ocess. avoid unless you like waiting an extensive period, having to repeat yourself to a new operator everytime, and being made a fool of when negotiating a purchase. Will refinance the second the loan is drawn down. negative stars.. so very disappointed. lesson learned, pay peanuts, get monkeys.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Another Outage ....
Another outage.
No explanation.
Three days and counting.
No access to funds.
No transfers of funds.
Can't pay bills. Left without cash.
Front line staff script is limited to "monitor website and social media for updates".
For an online bank, systems outages are unacceptable.
I can't even cancel my account - there's a system outage there too! ...Read more

Home Loan Do Not Bother!!
Do not waste your time with this bank we have been nothing but stuffed around with them they approved our finance then unapproved it due to them not giving us the correct information in the first place and then approved it after 100 phone calls. Told us that they would call / email never received anything back terrible terrible customer service. Don't even get me started on how slow they are, promised us IN WRITTING that we would have approval by a certain date and never delivered .... No one knows what is going on and don't know who is running the show there obviously clowns.

Trying to update my details... How hard can it be???
I'm so frustrated with Ubank... I set up an account approx 5 hrs ago.. I do everything online, so it never occurred to me to update my details with you over the years.. We've move twice since I set up the account.. So, I've been saving with ubank, never withdraw, and finally néed some of the money I've saved to pay for a holiday in the next couple of days..so, upon transferring the funds from ubank today, I realise I need to update the mobile number, so call your customer service team.. The guy I spoke to was very good, but he was communicatin...Read more
g some ridiculous procedures.. He asked me security questions which I pass. Along the way a question was what was a postcode of where we lived. My husband starts reeling off post codes and then I was advised this is a breach of privacy.. I'm sorry, how on earth is my husband telling mepostcodes of where we have lived a breach of privacy? Anyway, I pass the postcode test, I pass my date of birth, and I pass my secret password online question.. But after acknowledging who I am, I still can't update my details over the phone (or online).. The process is just beyond comprehension.. Yes.. I need to print a form, complete it,and then go into Aust Post where I need to complete a 100 point check, and then Ubank will will update my details in approx 7 days and then I can transfer my money.. too bad need to transfer my money wed this week. Every other bank account I have I've updated over the phone or online...this is the first time I've had to follow such a process.. So.... I will print out the form. I will go to Aust Post and compete a 100 point check.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Hi
Whats the story with designating my Linked account as a Payee account? Of course its my linked account- Thats where the money came from. I send you a secure email to request information but no answer from YOU. I ring up and wait, and wait on the phone to talk to someone. Only to be told your Linked account is a payee account with a 20k withdrawl limit. I have to wait 10 Days for verification WTF. You make it so difficult to use this account with all your hidden tricks and inability to communicate with your customer. Worst bank Ive ever delt with and the online reviews confirm it.
