Easy to sign up. Almost instant.

Go forth. Be Merry. Enjoy.

      What ended up happening?

      I have also locked myself out of internet banking, despite knowing the password.

      It was either as you say or issues with replacing the temporary password, as during that time the MyState Bank system appeared to stall.

      I regret the time wasted on this 'deal'. The account will be closed as soon as I can.

        Only went on to transfer the $50 out, which I couldn't do. The phone help is reasonable, you can request a callback after 2-3 minutes and they called within 5 yesterday. But agreed, not worth the time.

      lol that explains it, set my password on my phone. it won't let bitwarden autofill it in the app???

      Why wouldn't it be a 'legit deal'? MyState Bank is a registered bank and the advertising and terms are there for all to see.

  • valuer on 31/01/2023 - 11:42

    Transfer from NAB worked fine using app.

    The MyState web page did not show the deposit, even when moving between tabs, but the MyState app did show the $50. Refreshing would seem to be an issue with a web session.

  • knobbs on 31/01/2023 - 11:42

    I registered over the weekend and got a processing email. Still no further communication since though. Anyone else similar application time?

    • Gavman on 31/01/2023 - 12:56

      This happened to me but i got an email yesterday confirming my accounts and i have transferred moneys today OK. I would call them if you dont have your account details by now. Could be an issue with ur identifications they may not be able to verify something

      • [Deactivated] on 03/02/2023 - 03:58

        i also got the email confirming my account details but i'm sus of transferring money in until i get the login details which are yet to be received

      If you mean you didn't receive the SMS password after applying, neither did I. I just phoned them then. They will ask for your customer number, DOB, address, and balance of the account (if you transferred anything into it yet). Then they give you a number, ask you to login using that while still on the phone, then enter a new password for online banking. Then they ask if you want to give a second password for future phone calls instead of reading out all that personal info. Apparently with the phone password they will ask a few of the digits from it, not the entire password. e.g. "Give me the 2nd, 4th, and 8th digit of your password."

    "The customer number or password you entered is incorrect. Please check and try again. For help please call us on 138 001."

    Not exactly sure what I did wrong, been working fine yesterday and this morning. Cust number and password 100% correct on entry, they've locked me out for some reason.

    • Abbi on 31/01/2023 - 15:03

      Ok so the fraud team locked me out because there are some inconsistencies with my forms of ID. So I need to fill out a two page form, certified and signed by Legal Practicioner, Judges, Magistrates, CEO of a Federal Court, Police, etc.

      Haha. What an absolute joke.

      I'm out. Good luck the rest of you.

      • trixieb on 31/01/2023 - 15:12

        Wtf! Can the bank delete all your details?

        I haven't decided to sign up or not, and probably won't. This bank sounds disorganised.

        • Abbi on 31/01/2023 - 16:03

          The haven't removed any of my details, they've just locked me out of my account until I can get someone to sight my ID and sign to prove this, because they seemingly found some discrepancy between my forms of ID. I asked what the discrepancy was and they can't tell me for legal and security reasons. So I have to get an authorised person to verify my two ID's

          Screw that, not worth $50.

            @Abbi: Did you manage to deposit $50 in and now you can't get it out anymore?

            • Abbi on 02/02/2023 - 11:26

              @nightqueen: Good question. Nope, thankfully I hadn't gone to that stage yet.

                @YesPleaseThankYou: Yip and I'm not doing that for $50. I've asked them to just close my account. Crickets have been chirping ever since I said that to them.

    Both $50 transfer attempts eventually went in. One as NPP and one as OSKO.

    Take note, you can't do a transfer from Bonus Saver to external. It only lets you move from the Glide account out, so I had to move $50 from Saver into Glide, and the Glide to external.

    • Sweet3st on 31/01/2023 - 19:04

      Thanks answered my question 🙂

    • noelhoi on 01/02/2023 - 03:00

      So by taking out the $50 after it’s cleared in the Saver account is fine right? Sttill eligible for the bonus later on?

      • kickling on 01/02/2023 - 22:27

        Note that I transferred 2x $50 (because the first took ages, so I did a backup transfer). Total $100. So I have left $50 in there.

        • noelhoi on 02/02/2023 - 02:46

          Are you planning to leave it in there until you get the $50 bonus?

      • MiscOzB on 16/02/2023 - 13:49

        T&Cs make no mention of needing to leave the $50 in there to qualify.

  • x x on 31/01/2023 - 18:58

    After opening the account with $50, do you then have to make 5 transactions on the account within a certain time to be eligible? The IMB bank deal had a similar promo and from memory you also had to make 5 purchases after depositing the money and opening the account

    • [Deactivated] on 01/02/2023 - 05:31
      +1

      no

  • Loopholio on 31/01/2023 - 21:19

    There's this bonus too:

    Earn up to 4.00% p.a. interest
    Simple to earn – just deposit $20 & make 5 eligible transactions
    How do you qualify for bonus interest?

    You can earn bonus interest on your saved balances with this type of account by following these easy steps:
    Deposit at least $20 in your Bonus Saver account each month.
    Make at least 5 eligible VISA debit card transactions each month from your linked MyState Glide account.

    Commonwealth Bank are giving me 2.15% p.a but all I have to do is click a few things every three months for my whopping +0.55% bonus interest.

                @YesPleaseThankYou: When you get access to your account again, if you notice your payment out gets reversed by mystate automatically, you have to go online and select regular transfer out.
                I had issue that all fast payments were getting reversed.

                    With previous promo they said I transferred money in the wrong account so I wasn't eligible for the promo.
                    T&C's didn't specify account though, promo did come through in the end (actually was my partners account,but I did the private messaging via online portal. Then I noticed my partner got automated email that the promo was activated).

                    For transferring money out: They kept saying that receiving bank account probably didn't support fast payments …

    Just got a call from a MyState CSR apologising for the problem with the id rejection and subsequent locking of the account. He actually admitted it was a problem with their systems. I said I was not willing to go through the id citing process so they may as well close the account. He constantly apologised for the system issues they have been having and said he will do his best to get my currently submitted id approved and access granted back to my account.

      Interesting. I suspect that some of the adverse social media attention may have something to do with MyState Bank's changed approach.

      It is also good that MyState Bank acknowledged its system issues, a change from its past behaviour of blaming customers.

    Seems they hit the 2500 cap as the banner is no longer displayed. Wouldn't be surprising given the over 5k clicks here and they also advertised it during the Aus Open.

    Signed up on 29 Jan while the banner was still displayed and $50 deposited into Bonus Saver Account the next day, so I'd assume I qualified. First reminder set for early March.

        You would've had to deposit the $50. I suppose you could still try anyway - deposit it now then set a reminder to check on 15 March. If nothing, delete the Bonus Saver Account then wait for the next time they offer it.
