Our verdict

Pay no account keeping fees, no overseas ATM fees and no foreign transaction fees plus see your other bank accounts, super and investments all within your ubank app.

The first thing to note is that this transaction account comes with a linked Save Account . You’ll earn bonus interest rate on your Save balance when you deposit $200 a month into either account. The good thing about this account is you can make withdrawals from your Save account when needed and still be eligible for bonus interest.

The Spend account is great for everyday use in Australia, and as a fee-free travel money option when you’re overseas. It’s one of only a handful of accounts that charges no account keeping fees, no overseas ATM withdrawal fees and no international transaction fees.

You can link the Visa Debit Card to Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay to pay with your phone instead of your card. The ubank mobile app allows you to link your other bank accounts, super fund and investment accounts

Pros

  • No account keeping fees
  • No overseas ATM fees or foreign transaction fees
  • Spending tracking tools
  • Access thousands of ATMs in Australia for free
  • Apple Pay and Google Pay available

Hello, I am Australian resident but I live in Germany at the present time, hence non resident address. I have a Commonwealth bank transactional account in Australian as I travel back and forth a deal. Can I open account?

Hi Collin,


You must have an Australian address to apply for this account. You may want to contact Ubank to see what your options are? You can reach them on 13 30 80.
