I was switching to that Up Bank (by Bendigo), but they straight refuse to let me fund my crypto account, so that’s out because I just want basic control of my own money.

I also have a Bank Australia account, but, while they like to pat themselves on the back about sustainability, their service and product is crap, imo.

So what else you got?

Edit: Just realised I should probably have posted this to AusFinance, but ah well!

    No idea about crypto, but Great Southern Bank is excellent.

    They are a “customer owned” bank - so all profits the bank generates from the money you deposit, fees you pay (there aren’t many fees) are returned to you, as both a customer and partial owner of the bank.

          Is it one of those situations where they’ve got so much bad press as CUA, that now they operate under a different name?

            They consistently rank as one of the best banks in Australia on every comparison.

            Hardly anyone knows what a Credit Union is - that’s why they removed it from the name (it is still a credit union. And a credit union is a type of bank).

            I have no experience with any of the other banks that score as well as Great Southern, they’re probably good too but I’m so happy I don’t want to switch. I went through close do a dozen banks before finding this one.
