### 5/5 — Easy to work with

*2026-08-28, version 11.409.4*

Ubank has been very easy to work with and accessible.

### 5/5 — Best Banking App and Bank

*2026-08-26, version 11.409.4*

Don’t go to Reddit and read bogus customers yapping about bad banks and terrible interest. That’s the best in the market. I have been with Ubank since 2019 and have been saving enjoying interest ever since. Also those customers are bogus, they just cash in on referral bonus and if not get it, they yap and complain. Stay away from Reddit!! You finally did round ups. Yay!

### 5/5 — Easy

*2026-08-16, version 11.401.5*

Consistently easy to use, never seem to have any issues accessing money or accounts. The app is fantastic, easy to navigate, intuitive, and money transfers are completed almost instantly

### 5/5 — Satisfied

*2026-08-16, version 11.401.5*

As an Internet Bank I was slightly hesitant at first but over the last 4 years I have been extremely satisfied and would highly recommend. Good monthly Interest Rates if you follow all the small steps to achieve these goals.

### 5/5 — Best bank

*2026-08-13, version 11.401.5*

I can say that I came across one of the best banks to deal with. Much better than our 4 big banks.

### 5/5 — Easiest bank to deal with!!!

*2026-08-13, version 11.401.5*

Highly recommend, I switched from commonwealth after 20+ years with them. Better interest rates, no fees, open heaps of accounts without a big bang trying to get account holding fees. 

Also cute app layout.

### 5/5 — UBank

*2026-08-13, version 11.401.5*

I feel that my accounts are well looked after.😄

### 3/5 — Working well

*2026-08-12, version 11.401.5*

I had some issues early on but everything is working well now!

### 4/5 — Really like UBank but…

*2026-08-12, version 11.401.5*

I would give it 5/5 if they had temporary credit cards like Bankwest does. They are a one use or max value. Great way to protect your money

### 5/5 — Great banking app

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Do not pay interest

*2026-09-06, version 11.418.4*

This bank has gone from being a normal bank that treat their customers like all banks, too just another money grabbing entity that even hold transfers to NAB accounts, its parent company for as long as it can. Plus does not pay any interest at he end of the month if you with draw from it. We had 200k saved with them for years a were getting good interest. That is now in another bank.

### 1/5 — No Interest Payment

*2026-09-01, version 11.409.4*

Disappointed that no interest is paid to Everyday Account which is why we deciding to move to a bank that does.

### 1/5 — WORST BANK EXPERIENCE

*2026-08-31, version 11.409.4*

Locked out of my account as a CENTRELINK payment was flagged as “fraud”. They refused to answer any questions or explain why. Rude staff. 
Left without funds for over a week where I ended up reporting the events to the Financial Ombudsmen and had account unlocked. Transferred my funds out straight away and closed all accounts. 
DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BANK TO ANYONE!

### 1/5 — Can’t open account

*2026-08-19, version 11.409.4*

I couldn’t open account and customer service couldn’t help they were basically useless for future reference just be more helpful

### 1/5 — Saving account

*2026-08-19, version 11.409.4*

Don’t get UBank saving account if you don’t increase your balance you don’t get not interested for the month

### 1/5 — Used to be the best bank in Australia!

*2026-08-19, version 11.409.4*

The changes in the last two years have destroyed how good this bank was. Now you can’t pay from savings accounts, you can’t remove money from savings accounts, the app is so complicated and confusing.🫤

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-08-16, version 11.401.5*

Tried to create a joint account and keeps coming up with errors. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Unpredictable

*2026-08-13, version 11.401.5*

Card works at some places and not others !! Was closing my other accounts to just use UBank but cannot count on it working

### 1/5 — Ubank is now awful

*2026-08-07, version 11.401.5*

I used to be a fan - now it’s a bank that goes out of its way to avoid paying interest on savings. Don’t bank with them!!

### 1/5 — Tried to sign up, not eligible, no recourse

*2026-08-04, version 11.390.1*

Tried to sign up for an account. Got through the process and it said I wasn’t eligible. I live in Australia, signed up with my passport, my credit score is fine. I was just trying to open a joint account with my partner. 
It tells you basically nothing about why it’s not possible. I called UBank and they said they can’t help and I was basically completely out of luck. They can’t even see why it failed. I tried to escalate and they said I couldn’t. I have no way of knowing what went wrong and nothing tells you and you can apparently never sign up again.

Edit: they tell you to message their Facebook team with a reference number and their Facebook team can’t even look it up. So it’s just a complete waste of time.
