jasoncheesemanuk Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Hi all, I've been using Nationwide and Barclays in the UK. They both have awesome IOS Apps allowing me to see Current, Savings and Mortgage and Credit Card accounts. I can transfer money and pay bills etc. What's this like with Aussie banks? Any banks you would recommend? Thanks in advance, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitescargot Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Commonwealths banking app is easy to use and quick to update with transactions. Would recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Odd way to choose a bank, but can vouch for NAB as having all the functions you've asked for (with the exception of mortgage, I always keep mortgage seperate from my main bank). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicF Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 We're with Commonwealth and I like the app as well. You can do transfers on it to people/places in your address book but you can't transfer to new people/places on it, you have to do that via the browser. You can see all of your accounts and the most recent transactions in those accounts - just the most recent ten to fifteen (haven't actually counted them but it's not loads). We used to have an account with ANZ and used their banking app as well. I quite liked that one as well and could pretty much do all the same stuff on there.

Not really that odd if you do a lot of online banking via your phone or iPad. I do think most banks have this function now but I'd be disappointed if I chose a bank and found they didn't.

Parley Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I use NAB's android app on my phone and it is very easy to use and quick. I like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JK2510 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Nab app is very easy. I use a 4 digit code(different to my PIN number) to access my details so quick and easy. Can also find ATMs and branches on the search function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runslikeafish Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Another vote for both NAB's and CommBank's apps - both very easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chardy Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 And another NAB fan, it even has my credit card account showing so i can easily see my balance and simply transfer finds across from my normal bank accounts.
