    Any downsides to this? Anyone dealt with them before?

    • akib on 05/01/2021 - 14:49

      I'm very happy with them. 1.25% on savings (up to 50k) as long as you deposit 1000 per month.

      supports gpay

      only downside is that you can only log in through the app.

        After emailing them, I received a pair of socks, a zipped tote/bookbag, a tumbler bottle, 2x retractable ballpoint pens with stylus ends and 2x stickers.
        Didn't know you could send them a Tweet, but emailing seems to work as well.

        • akib on 05/01/2021 - 18:32

          Did you email them out of the blue?

          I kinda want some pens and stickers :D

          • UseHerName on 05/01/2021 - 22:34

            @akib: Yep. Saw people posting their sign-up merch on the 86400 FB group and I politely requested it. Pretty sure it was either email or in-app support. They said that merch is sent to new sign ups if avail and to make sure my adress was correct, yadee yadee yah. So I assumed that was them telling me no. Until ~2wks later I got their mail 😃

      Been using them for 6 months overall pretty good, never had any problem the only downside is 5000 daily transfer limit but you can call to increase temporarily.

      • haemolysis on 05/01/2021 - 23:41

        Downside: you do indeed have to call and the line isn’t 24/7 or even 365. Closed on weekends.

        Upside: once validated even the larger transfer is osko-enabled. You can send your entire balance in real time.

    Neobanks were already going to find it tough to break the big banks before COVID-19 but it made it almost impossible. A combination of low interest rates (harder for banks to make money) and people not wanting to risk having their money in anything but a stable institution makes it nearly impossible for these guys.

    Just ask Xinja:

      Neobanks that are owned by legacy banks are playing catch up to fintech. They will all eventually eat dirt and so will their parents.

    • the-mal on 05/01/2021 - 15:29

      Neo's were never aiming to compete with the Big 4 despite what their marketing might say. They want to create a flashy digital experience, grow fast and then get bought out by a big bank.

      None of them have of had a model to scale because as they grow their regulatory obligations also grow which make them just as hindered and cumbersome as a big bank. So endgame was always to get bought out for their digital platforms and engaged customer base.

      Xinja and Volt don't have big bank backing, so they were always likely to be the first to fold. One down…

      86400 should be good for a while longer.

      • buckerooni on 05/01/2021 - 17:12
        +4

        agree, 86400 is the stand out, and offers loans indicating a significantly more mature and stable organisation and is my pick of the (neo) bunch, even though I have a soft spot for Up!

        It's also backed by Cuscal who have significant tech/infastructure in the payments space to leverage.

        Hay ( https://www.hellohay.co/ ) may also be in a precarious position. Volt have the back-end to support loans too, but they have been pretty slow out of the gates with simple debit accounts, which is a concern.

        Yep, just keeping the lights on and keeping regulators and schemes happy is difficult, never mind trying to innovate and make money without screwing your customers.

        • Breen on 06/01/2021 - 11:36

          My guess is when AfterPay eventually gets regulated and then decides to become an ADI, you'll have a 'Neo' competitor to the banks as they'll have a large set of customers from the get go.

    • avoidfullprice on 05/01/2021 - 15:35

      people not wanting to risk having their money in anything but a stable institution

      I need those people to continue bank with the big 4, pay monthly account fees, get peanuts saving interest, pay high interest rate on their mortgage to subsidise bargainers like us.

      I need them to be risk adverse for my benefits.

        The Big 4 is also good for anyone that wants to do some no questions asked money laundering.

        • buckerooni on 05/01/2021 - 17:13

          no questions asked money laundering, sure you're not talking about crypto?

            @buckerooni: All the transactions were done using fiat. Legacy banks are the go-to guys for the goodfellas when they want they money laundered.

            https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-09-24/westpac-money-launder…

            In many cases, Westpac also failed to pass on information about the origin of these transfers, or the source of funds to other banks involved in the transactions.

            It also failed to keep records about where the money came from in some cases.

            Westpac has also admitted it failed to properly assess and monitor the risks associated with some of these foreign transfers, some of which were with banks in "higher risk jurisdictions" including Iraq, Lebanon, Ukraine, Zimbabwe and Democratic Republic of Congo.

            The bank also failed to make adequate checks on some customers who were sending regular payments overseas, and also failed to pick up on payment patterns typical of child exploitation activities, despite repeated warnings from AUSTRAC for banks to do this.

            https://www.austrac.gov.au/austrac-and-cba-agree-700m-penalt…

            In summary, CBA accepted that:

            it failed to carry out an appropriate assessment of the money laundering and terrorism financing (ML/TF) risks of its IDMs prior to October 2017
            it failed to complete the introduction of appropriate controls to mitigate and manage the ML/TF risks of IDMs prior to April 2018
            it failed to provide 53,506 threshold transaction reports to AUSTRAC on time for cash transactions of $10,000 or more through IDMs from November 2012 to September 2015, having a total value of about $625 million
            for a period of three years, it did not comply with the requirements of its AML/CTF program relating to monitoring transactions on 778,370 accounts
            it failed to report suspicious matters on time, or at all, involving transactions in the tens of millions of dollars
            even after it became aware of suspected money laundering or structuring on CBA accounts, it did not monitor its customers to mitigate and manage ML/TF risk, including the ongoing ML/TF risks of doing business with those customers.

            https://fortune.com/2020/03/11/money-laundering-record-year-…

            Regulators hit banks with a near record $10 billion worth of fines in a 15 month period through 2019, and the figure is expected to increase in 2020. That's according to a new report from Fenergo, a European startup that makes software to help financial institutions detect illegal transactions.

            According to Fenergo's research, 60.5% of the fines came from banks violating anti-money laundering rules, while nearly all of the rest—38.7% of fines—arose as a result of transactions with countries under sanctions. In the latter case, it was U.S. regulators that levied almost all such fines, amounting to a total of $3.67 billion in penalties.

    • Benjkmv on 05/01/2021 - 16:22

      One problem with these banks is they take lot of deposits but there is no outgoing in terms of loans. That is where bank can make money i.e., getting deposits at lower rate and selling loans at a higher rate with a margin. Xinja got a lot of deposits for which they had to pay outgoing interests but loan accounts were never introduced. Thereby losing money every month. Without new investors to put in funds for this company, it’s running out of money and hence closing down.

      86400 have home loans but I doubt they will be able to completely use their deposits for this as they would not have much applications. But they are in better condition then Xinja.

      UP has a benefit of having Bendigo bank who would be able to utilise those funds in giving loans.

    • beardmanxo on 05/01/2021 - 17:00

      Can't go wrong with either I reckon. I'm with Up and love how in depth the app is but I've also only heard good things about 86 400

    • INFIDEL on 06/01/2021 - 12:47

      Unless you want 0% on your money, it's a bit complex with UP!!

      To get UP's 1.1% interest on your money…

      Need to move money into SAVERS you set up for interest on your money…

      You need to make 5 purchases each month for base rate of 0% to have 1.1% BONUS interest added.

      Didn't realise that when added money on Jan1. Had made 5 purchases on 31/12, but needs to be added each month before interest rate is shown as increased.

      And takes time for purchases to be assessed & interest rate increase shown…

      Am new to UP.
      Seems to get any interest on your money in the account, it is necessary to make 5 purchases at start of each month. Interest is calculated daily, so I assume there is no interest until Bonus interest is added??
      (Coles/Woolies split payment - insert card, select Savings for fastest processing through Debit not Credit)

      Will confirm with UP.

      • INFIDEL on 06/01/2021 - 14:35

        From UP: (correction to above)
        If the interest criteria of five or more card purchases has been completed in a calendar month, the entire calendar month will be applied with bonus interest, including the days before the fifth transaction was completed 😉

        e.g If five or more card based purchases are completed by mid December, the bonus interest rate will be applied to the whole of December 💰

        The bonus interest rate then resets every calendar month 🗓

          • INFIDEL on 06/01/2021 - 23:34

            @avoidfullprice: Yes, once understood & set up - it's easy.

            Setting up UP account this week with conditions that seemed vague - just seemed complex. (OK now it's been clarified). Interest limited to $1M investment. It's easier than ING!

            Even easier with this offer. Just a monthly transfer of $1k. Interest limited to $50k investment.

            Am used to ING over years. Set up monthly transfer of $1k in (& out if necessary) & a reminder to make split payments at supermarkets once a month. Interest limited to $100k investment.

            In 1 purchase @Woolies today, did 5 purchases of 5c each for UP & ING & rest by discount eGift card. Already transferred $1k to ING & 86400. So all set up for January!

          It probably would as they also have the sweep feature so more of your money is kept in your savings account.

          I don't know what their rates are.

          There is also Citibank Plus which I think gives you the Visa/MasterCard rate and no fees.
          Ubank could also be the same

            @spaceflight: If you're considering Citibank, I'd suggest Macquarie instead. All the same benefits but a much, much, much better app and website.

    Where does the name come from? Looks like the start of a telephone number in China. Very strange choice.

        86,400. But 86 400 looks like a phone number.

    fyi their bonus interest rate only applies to 50k previously this was 250k

      I just split them up into three Savings accounts 50k max each for total of 150K.

      • ATangk on 05/01/2021 - 18:18

        150k is a lot to put in a savings account. Are you planning on using it soon?

          Yeah, just parking oncall cash once the right investment property comes up.
          Its 1.2%.. add in inflation and tax its basically 0%.

    • hanofee on 05/01/2021 - 20:50

      Maybe consider other form of investment than this one if u have over $50k cash available?
