'Sorry, Internet Banking is temporarily unavailable.' Every morning??
If I could give minus stars I would.
Left uBank for a while due to the website constantly down when I needed it. Have been back now for a week and the same thing has happened. Simple solution - I'm now in the process of transferring all money back to ING.....when the website is back up.
Don't complain, take positive action - just open up another account (ING offers better rates anyway) and talk with your feet.
Seeya, uBank, you're rubbish.

Perhaps instead of blaming my cache issues, your time would be better spent reading through the customer reviews and see that this is far from an isolated case. It appears UBank does a lot of ‘apologi... Read more
sing’ but at 1.7stars it would appear it does precious little in the form of actually ‘fixing’ many common threads. Again, I’m not complaining any more, I’m taking my business elsewhere - and you guys can see that in the withdrawals I’m making. To reiterate, after reading your response that it’s MY problem, I’d give even more minus stars if I could.Similar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

Very disappointed
Got this lady on customer service to find my eligibility to find if I can refinance anyway the lady was coughing sneezing putting me on hold I don’t mind if she is not well but it’s sound like to me she is having dope or she is dopey it took long time to work out my eligibility the lady was very impatient Rude can’t even tell the dates right and
Top of that asking me questions without looking at my file her voice was like somebody forcing her to do the job I rather pay more rates to the banks who gave me service and the staff they are educated and they know what they are doing instead giving my time to this bank staff who sounds junky anyway good luck u bank

Go to Xinja or 86400
I have had by far the worst experiences with this bank than any other bank. They have close to NO customer service, their website is CONSTANTLY DOWN or have bugs. Transferring out of this bank is a huge hassle, you have to call them, good luck getting to support within an hour wait time.
I have since switched to Xinja, much easier platform to use, support is always available and offers similar interest rates, and I don't have the hassle to deposit every month to get that interest rate.
so Ubank, give me ONE reason why people still want to stay with you?

Horrible unhappy customer service.
I forgot my password, then they sent my secret code to old phone number , which i recently changed.
Now, I can not change my password. The customer service told me that they have no branch to visit and they have no office which can help to update the password.
Now I am stuck unable to access my money until a post letter reach me. They can not guarantee how many days the letter will reach me. Meaning I can not access money in that account, which is an online saving account, Not my daily saving account.
The customer service manager stated t...Read more
hat he is underpaid, stating it is late night, and he is not there to help customer but being underpaid, unhappy, and having no choice to work there. He also stated that bank is making million dollars per minute, and, the bank does not care about customer issues. They said I am not allowed to be unhappy even though I suffer with their unreliable services. It is an online bank without branch or office to help in person. But they can not even update or help customer online or on the phone. They said only a posted paper will be accepted to solve the online issues. Once I get access to my account, I will be closing my account with this bank. A useless online bank but unable to solve issues online.Similar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

An online bank with worst online platform.
Over the years Ubank is trying to offer better online (internet banking and mobile app) platform, but still they lack plenty of basic things. 3 stars for recent improvements of the mobile app. I'm with UBank only because of its Savings Interest Rate (which is falling as well due to RBA cut), other than that nothing impressive to be honest.

Embarrassing IT and stupid account set up and rubbish sweep
Customer >6years. Really good rates. BUT their IT is embarrassing. It feels like high school kids are managing it. The website login never works; the mobile app shows a pinwheel >20 seconds at log in and each time you go between different account views. WORST FEATURE: compulsory transaction account (in addition to your basic online savings account). You can only Bpay or DD from the transaction account, and if the funds are low, it's meant to automatically sweep money from the savings account so as to complete the transaction. IT FAILS all the time. The sweep is rubbish and I'm constantly manually transferring money from savings to transaction all the time to complete transactions (PayPal, car rego, tapping).

Ubank is still not quite there
On paper Ubank look like a great option, good interest on saving backed by NAB, but when you actual start using there service, you realize they are like a beta version of a bad bank never really getting any of there features quite right.
First thing will be them stiffing you up on the bonus interest the first moth you sign up, I don't remember the excuse they gave, but they had some made up reason, so if you move your saving account keep the funds in your old account until the end of your first calendar month.
But the main issue with this guy...Read more
s is they don't know how to transfer funds, I can send PayID from my nab account to any one in a few seconds, but to get money to my Ubank account (which owned by NAB) will take a few days as they don't support any fast payment system, It's even worse the other way as Ubank won't even process transfers over the weekend, it's Friday night and you realized you need to top up your account from your savings ? good luck. the money will hit your account next Tuesday if your lucky. So the potential is there but at the moment they can't get the basics quite rightSimilar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

Worst service I have ever experienced
I have been with the bank for a bit over a year and in that time I have had trouble after trouble. Firstly every phone call took from 20 min to 90 min or more to get connected. I had no redraw capacity for the first month despite what I was told at the start. It takes up to 5 days to see a credit on my account and then often I don’t see the name of the depositor, sometimes I see the depositors bank but never the detail of the transaction. The recorded message says dealing with Ubank “is all so easy” which couldn’t be more from the truth.
Then r...Read more

UBank - An Awful Homeloan and Loan Settlement Experience
I have been with Ubank since 2019 when I transferred the loan from Commbank for a better rate.
The settlement process was riddled with mistakes and poor communication from UBank.
The app and digital infrastructure offered by Ubank has been ok for the past year. As a savings back they are fine.
However, recently I've sold my house and am in the middle of the settlement. The communication and managmeent of this process by Ubank has been awful.
They have delayed on simple administrative tasks and have a fragmented customer service department t...Read more

On their website it says "Brokers & Lenders who partner with MSA have happier Customers" - nothing could be further from the truth. Complete spin.For the benefit of everyone using this webpage, UBank hasn't followed up on the above statement they made. I've missed my settlement deadline today due to UBank's indifference.

They did not keep their appointments
I applied for a refinance and received an email from them scheduling a time to speak. They missed the appointment, they did not call at all and I had to email them to ask them what happened. They said they called but apparently it was not the right number, so I confirmed my correct number with them (this is all via email so there is a record of it). A second appointment was made but again they missed the appointment. If they cannot keep an appointment they should at least email to say so and organise a different time, this is very poor form. Not sure if I will bother scheduling a third appointment.

Bank is unavailable too many times
I've been a Ubank customer for a year or more, the number of times I have tried to log on and I get the "Sorry, Internet Banking is temporarily unavailable message: is ridiculous. How can a bank constantly be down with no forewarning to customers? Looking elsewhere for a better savings bank account.

Would give zero stars if possible
Contacted UBank via online chat as it impossible to talk to a person.
$2.5 million loan application and no human to talk to. Told I had to submit application via online before they would talk to me
Wow, if that's the customer service before they get my business, I dont want to know what it would be like if I banked with them.

Can't do transactions on the weekend or public holidays.
I have been using for 6 months, and I don't understand why they went to the trouble of crippling transactions, especially Bpay on weekend and public holidays. It would be a lot simpler to just have it work every day like all the other banks I have used.
Worse thing is that you don't know what happened to your transaction until you check it on a working day. Has cost me 2 late payment fees so far.
You also can't change the sweep unless you use the app on your phone and expose yourself to more risk.
Seriously?

Decent experience
Reading through the reviews looks like I’m the odd one out who had a decent experience?
Had issues getting a security code sent to my phone to send money across and after waiting around 20mins in the que had my issue solved within 5mins.

No fraud department. Don’t answer phones or email.
UBank have made it extremely easy for people to signup using fraudulent information. I’ve had 8 accounts opened in my name. UBank refuse too deal with it. Won’t answer my call or emails. Every time I do get through the call disconnects.

Tried to refinance two loans with them of 1 million dollars and USELESS
hours of time wasted as thier website has a glitch. You have to put all your financial details in to get to the very last part - your date of birth and guess what! It does not work. Contacted them through the only means of contact - Facebook - Not professional. Told me to try another browser even though they knew they could potentially lose 1 million in loans as was losing my patience. Tried again a week later on internet explorer AND a different computer and get this.... same thing happened! How do you speak to someone if you can not ge...Read more
t past the first bloody point!!!! Will not give a contact number to call. SUCH POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE - DONT WASTE YOU TIME - its like customer service at its worst and I am trying to give them money. Extract from their facebook messages after constant contact messages back and forth Could you please try again using a different browser? The online application is working, however, sometimes there are settings/add ons that prevent the website from functioning entirely. It appears this is what happened when you applied. [name removed] Applying online! I'm afraid this first part of the application can only be done online. Once complete, we can then assign your case manager to assist. Let's work through this together, could you please try again using a different browser? Let me know how you go. [name removed] We hear your frustration and appreciate your patience with this. We can definitely speak with you about the application however we won't be able to submit this for you over the phone. This can only be completed online. In this instance if you wish to proceed with the UHomeLoan, you'll need to re-attempt the application in a different browser. Alternatively, you may consider using incognito/ private mode in your current browser or applying in the mobile site on your device. All the best. [name removed]2 comments

Never using Ubank ever again
Currently located in Melbourne & when I tried to close my Ubank account this week, Ubanks after hours advised the only was is to go to a post office and fill out an ID form as all my details have changed on file. During stage 4 strict lock down restrictions there is absolutely no work around but to go into a public place and risk my life, quit ridiculous they do not have a COVID safe plan in place or alternatives during a pandemic.

Discharge delay tactics
Dont refinance to Ubank if you want a loan term less than 30 years! Thats all they do even if your in your late 50's. Now I need to refinance & I've emailed the signed discharge form twice & received confirmation email they received it. My incoming Lender said they contacted to say they hadn't received the form again & want another 15 business days to prepare discharge. I tried ringing only to be told leave a message after 40 min on hold. I am going to stop my repayments & will now give bad reviews & never recommend this Lender.
