How can we help?

Up is an Australian mobile-only digital bank. Up is designed, developed and delivered through a collaboration between Ferocia (a software company) and Bendigo Bank. Up runs on your smartphone, and provides you with an app and a debit card linked to a real bank account. “Super-powered” banking refers to Up’s superior ease-of-use and awesome features including signing-up in as little as 3-minutes in-app, seamless merchant identification, instant in-app Apple Pay activation, real-time conversational payments, automated round-ups, spending insights, and more.

All Up branded banking and financial products available in the Up apps are issued by Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, the most trusted bank in Australia. Deposits provided through the Up apps are protected by the Financial Claims Scheme (FCS), up to $250,000 per person (in aggregate across all deposit products held with Bendigo and Adelaide Bank). Up also uses the latest security technology, including smartphone biometrics and advanced cryptography, to protect your money.

Deposits provided through the Up apps are held by Bendigo and Adelaide Bank. You may not think it matters where your Up deposits are held, but it does:

• Every day Bendigo helps change lives, and save lives. Since 1998 over $250 million has been returned to local communities Australia-wide.
• In 2018 Bendigo was ranked the most trusted bank and the 3rd most trusted brand in Australia.
• In 2017 Bendigo was rated as the number one Australian company (13th globally) for making the world a better place.
• Bendigo Bank does not currently lend to and has no plans to lend to projects in the coal and coal seam gas sectors.
• In 2020, Bendigo built on its Statement of Commitment to the Environment with a Climate Change Policy Statement incorporating support for the Paris Agreement objectives.

Yes! The Up card makes a great travel companion, and is accepted at more than 47 million Mastercard® acceptance locations worldwide. There are no fees on international purchases online or in person, and there’s no rebates or conditions to worry about.

No. Up doesn’t charge monthly account keeping fees. In fact, Up is actually free for most standard use with practically no fees at all.

ATM access for Up customers is currently free at most major banks in Australia, including our partner Bendigo Bank and the 4 major banks. Although Up does not charge ATM fees, we do not control the fees charged by any other financial institution or independent ATM operator. All ATMs must display the fee at the time of transaction and allow you to accept or decline. If you choose to accept the fee we do not offer ATM rebates.

Funding your account digitally is a breeze: your Up spending account has a BSB and Account Number like any other bank account in Australia. You can also easily nominate your phone number or email address as a “PayID”. Up lets you use your BSB and Account Number, or your phone number or your email address to deposit money almost instantly using “Osko”. Osko provides near-instant payments 24/7 (including weekends) between participating financial institutions.

You can also deposit cheques through Bank@Post™ at your local Australia Post outlet with no fees attached.

You can deposit cash and cheques through Bank@Post™ at your local Australia Post outlet with no fees attached. All you need is your physical, activated Up card and PIN. You may also be asked for ID if depositing a cheque.

Please note: Cash/Cheque deposits may not be available for 5-10 business days.

To get an Up bank account on your mobile in under 3 minutes, simply download the Up app from the App Store for iOS or Google Play for Android and follow the instructions. Opening a regulated bank account in Australia requires an Australian Driver's License, a Passport, or a Medicare card. After we successfully validate your ID, you can start banking with Up.

Up has a $30,000 daily limit for outgoing payments. If you need to transfer more than $30,000, please contact us via ‘Talk to Us’ in app and we may be able to assist you. Please note that these funds cannot be sent via Osko and will take 2-3 business days to transfer.

Up currently has a combined $1,000 daily limit for ATM and EFTPOS withdrawals, unless you ask for the daily limit to be changed.

Once activated by making 5 successful physical or digital card purchases in a calendar month, Up pays 0.50% p.a. across your Up and 2Up Savers, up to a combined balance of $1M on deposits in your Up Savers as well as up to $1M in your 2Up Savers. Interest on Savers is calculated daily and paid monthly. Money held in Everday accounts do not earn any interest. Read the full conditions.

Up supports instant in-app activation of Apple Pay which means there's no need to wait for your Up plastic card to arrive, Up will simply prompt you to add your card to Apple Pay as part of the sign-up process.

If you have an Apple Watch, once you've set it up for your Apple Wallet, you can use the Watch app on your iPhone to install Up and we'll walk you through the setup process. Our watch app also works standalone over LTE (if you have your eSim enabled).

If you choose not to set up Apple Pay during sign-up, you can still enable Apple Pay within the Card section of the Up menu. Simply tap "Setup Apple Pay". These in-app set up methods for Apple Pay are automated and do not require you to scan your Up card, or enter your details manually.

If you choose to set up Apple Pay via Apple Wallet (from outside of the Up app) you will be required to scan your Up card, or enter your details manually. Therefore the automated methods are recommended.

Yep. We aim to make all features easy to use with assistive technologies, Talk to Us if you have any issues with this.

Yep. You can operate your Up account on all of your devices at the same time.

Up comes with a beautiful Mastercard® Debit card. Following sign-up, your Up card will be automatically issued. Up plastic cards can take up to 5-10 business days to arrive, depending on the postal service.

Up supports PayID and Osko for near-instant payments to and from your Up account. Payments should be processed almost instantly by Up, but processing times may vary depending on the first-time payment rules of the other financial institution and/or whether or not they support Osko. Using the standard “Pay Anyone” capability of traditional banks with BSB and Account Number can take up to 1-2 business days, depending on the other institutions’ processing times.

Your daily payment limit for transfers out of your account is $30k (per 24 hours), however first time transfers to new payees or payments made from new devices may be delayed as an additional security precaution.

If you need to make abnormally large payments to new payees, we recommend that you plan ahead and use a "scheduled transfer" at a specific point in time in the future.

You can’t join Up without valid Australian identification documents.

That’s ok, but you’ll need to be at least 16 years old to get an Up account.

No problems. You’ll just need to be an Australian resident and provide your overseas tax information during sign up.

Up is only available to people living in Australia.

If you get your Up passcode wrong too many times, you can reset it within the Up app. Make sure you have your Up recovery code handy. Your recovery code was emailed to you when you verified your email address after joining Up.

If you don’t have your recovery code, please follow our account recovery page for options to recover access to your account.

If this still doesn't work, please email our Account Recovery Experts with your full legal name & mobile number at support@up.com.au.

From a technical perspective it means that the app cannot negotiate a secure SSL connection to the right server for Up. It can happen when you have a proxy or something that’s getting in the way of the app talking to the Up servers.

What does this mean? Essentially we haven’t been able to verify that your connection is secure and that no one is attempting to decode your app networking traffic while you're using the app. Sometimes this isn't a malicious scenario (eg. company devices/network can have this issue). However, because it's a security related thing, we stop you being able to use the app to protect your data and ours.

Up doesn't have an email and password combination that can be shared with external services. Access to your data is limited to your personally approved devices.

However, we do have an API for personal use. Whilst not currently available, it is planned to allow third party apps to connect to the API, and it's on the roadmap. Eventually, this would let you grant others access to your data in a secure way that you have much greater control over, including the ability to remove that access at any time.

Interest summary statements showing all interest earned will show up on July 5, at the beginning of a new financial year. You can find them under Statements from the Up menu.

Send us an email at support@up.com.au, or ask us in ‘Talk to Us’ in the Up app (if you’re already an Up customer).

Find an Afterpay payment in your activity and tap the transaction. On the receipt page you'll have the option to connect to Afterpay. This will take you to the Afterpay website where you can login and give Up permission to access your Afterpay payment data.

Once you've connected to Afterpay any Afterpay transactions in your activity feed will be updated to show the actual merchant you transacted with. Tapping on a transaction will show the amount and number of payments remaining and most often the items you purchased. In the Upcoming screen we'll show you all your future Afterpay payments and give you a reminder a couple of days out from each payment.

If you have made all four Afterpay payments before you connect to Afterpay from Up we cannot currently show detailed information for those purchases. We're working to improve this in the future.

We only show Afterpay payments initiated with your Up card. If you add your Up card to purchases currently in progress we will show any new payments in Up, but are not able to show these in Upcoming. We're working to improve this in the future.

While we hope you never get to this point, if you do have a complaint to make, we need to hear it.

We will promptly investigate your complaint and notify you of the outcome. If you are not satisfied with the response provided, you may refer your complaint directly to our External Dispute Resolution scheme (see section 21.5 of the Up Terms and Conditions).

If you'd like to dispute a transaction, please let us know the transaction details using "Talk to Us" in the Up app. We will work through our standard dispute process to try and recover your money. Please keep in mind when raising chargebacks we are governed by scheme rules which provide guidelines we must follow for these to be considered valid. In some circumstances, we may need to re-issue your card to prevent additional disputed transactions. If you are unable to dispute a transaction using Talk to Us, you can also call us on 1300 002 258.

We recognise that it may be difficult for you to seek assistance. If you feel you're in a financially abusive situation, please do not hesitate to speak to any member of our staff.

If you find yourself in this situation there are a number of ways we may be able to assist you, please get in touch with us by calling on 1300 002 258 or e-mailing us at support@up.com.au.

To close your Up account, you'll need to first withdraw all funds or transfer any remaining balance to another account. Once this is done, please use "Talk to Us" in the Up app to let us know you’d like to close your Up account. We'll confirm your full name, date of birth and residential address when you chat with us, then we’ll be able to take care of it for you. Please note we will soon be releasing a self-service option so you can close your Up account yourself within the Up app (in most cases).

No more lists on the fridge or ‘you pay rent and I’ll get the shopping’. 2Up is a simpler way to share expenses. It’s easy to set up and close down, and gives you tools to pay together while keeping your own financial life, completely your own.

Read all about it here.

Make sure that you've updated to v2.0 of the Up app. Tap the ‘get early access to 2Up’ banner to invite your Player 2. If you miss it the first time, look for it under the Up tab.

If your Player 2 isn’t an Upsider, send them an invite through Hook Up a Mate first.

At release, you will be able to use all the regular Up payment features except payment requests, pay splitting, and International payments.

International payments have to be linked to individual Wise account holders, so you’ll need to use your own Up account for those.

You will both see every purchase made on your 2Up Spending account, and each purchase will show who bought what. If you contact our Support team, you can choose to both be included in the chat.

And of course, your own Up accounts are completely your own. Neither of you can see, smell or touch the other person’s main Up account.

At this point, 2Up is for two Upsiders only, and each Upsider can be part of one 2Up at a time. Shared accounts (for more than two people) are planned for the future.

So if you had a 2Up with your flatmate you’ll need to shut it down before you make a fresh account with your new Player 2.

You both have full access to spend, transfer or make payments with money in 2Up without requiring permission from each other..

It's important you only join 2Up with someone you know well and trust. Only add money to 2Up you're happy for either of you to spend.

Your 2Up Everyday account is a spending account and does not earn interest. 2Up Savers are eligible to earn bonus interest once unlocked. Purchases made using your 2Up Everyday account contribute to the five transactions needed to unlock bonus interest repayments across both your personal Up Savers and on 2Up Savers. So if between you and your 2Up you make five purchases, you’ll both earn interest on your private Up Savers and 2Up Savers.

At present, Up Savers pay up to 0.50% p.a. for up to $1M in deposits in your Up Savers as well as $1M in your 2Up Savers.

Read the full conditions on our pricing page.

As soon as your 2Up is empty and all 2Up Savers have been closed, either one of you can close it. Just a few taps and you’re a lone ranger once more.

First of all, Hook them Up with the world’s snazziest orange banking solution. If they aren’t yet on the Up train, you’ll have to go old school. Cover their share and get your cash in the car park.

Up sends repeating requests so you don’t have to. If they keep ignoring those requests, maybe they’re just not a good mate. We’re really sorry, you’re worth more than that. A mate of ours likes to lend $50 to people he never wants to see again and considers it well spent. Hope this sorta helps.

We’re working with 20 for now. That… should be enough?? Go get it you party animal.

Not at the moment. We’re starting with regular-flavoured Up accounts. More awesome tooling is coming as we grow.

Fancy gin, a ridiculously comfy throw that matches her couch, and some quality time cause she loves you and honestly she really just wants to know what you’re up to.
