Neobank Deposit Rates More Down Than Up MEDIA RELEASE NEOBANK DEPOSIT RATES MORE DOWN THAN UP Neobanks follow the big four and slash deposit rates ● Neobanks 86 400, Up and Xinja join the big four in cutting at-call savings rates ● Big four bank average on-going at-call savings rate is 0.54%, 121 basis points below the leading rate ● Top ongoing at call savings rate is 1.75%, with the average savings 0.68% ● Rates fell on 70 out of 86 term deposit accounts (is this accounts not providers)last month, including all four of the big banks term deposits ● The top one-year term deposit is 1.40% through Judo Bank, 40 basis points above the average ● Westpac targeting under 30s with 3.00% rate for balances up to $30,000 4 August 2020: Analysis by financial comparison site Mozo has found neobanks 86 400, Up and Xinja have followed the big four banks and made significant cuts to their at-call savings rates. Over the past month Mozo found Up was anything but, slicing 25 basis points of its Saver Account (1.65%), while 86 400 and Xinja both cut 15 basis points off their popular accounts taking their rates to 1.70% and 1.65% respectively. “While the neobanks had managed to offer a glimmer of hope for the nation’s savers, these out of cycle cuts are a worrying sign,” says Mozo Director Kirsty Lamont. “As they seek to attract new customers, we’ve come to expect the neobanks will buck the downward trend of the banks but with their savings rates also heading South they appear to be rejoining the pack.” The research comes in the wake of Xinja closing access to its Stash savings account to new customers earlier in the year. The leading at-call savings rate in the Mozo database of 1.75% offered by Australian Unity and MyState Bank, is coming in 1.07% higher than the average. Big four bank average on-going at- call savings rate is 0.54%, 121 basis points below the leading rate. While most of the big bank rates are falling, Westpac is targeting younger savers with under 30s able to access a 3.00% rate for balances up to $30,000. MEDIA RELEASE It was also a tough month for term deposits, with 70 of the 86 accounts tracked by Mozo seeing cuts - including all four of the big banks. “For the second consecutive month our biggest deposit takers have cut their term deposit rates,” says Lamont. “Unfortunately there is not a lot of good news around if you’re trying to get a decent return on your savings but with a significant gap between the highest and lowest rates in the market, it still pays to compare.” Mozo found the top one-year term deposit is 1.40% through Judo Bank, 40 basis points above the average. It’s also significantly higher than the best of the big four, 0.85% offered by NAB.

  • The Rise of the Neo-Bank
    The rise of the neo-bank yieldreport.com.au/insights/the-rise-of-the-neo-bank/ 13 January 2020 By guest contributor Jake Jodlowski, Principal, Atchison Consultants Given the continued reputational damage suffered by the big four Australian banks throughout and post the Banking Royal Commission hearings, bank customers and investors may be looking for alternatives. Whilst still in its infancy, Australia’s banking and credit start-up sector has grown leaps and bounds in recent years, with Afterpay Touch Group (ASX: APT) and Zip Co Limited (ASX: ZIP) being high-profile examples. Although the “buy-now, pay-later” (BNPL) sector has received most of the media coverage, the development of so-called “neo-banks” has also started to gain momentum. Neo-banks are best described as traditional banks without a bricks and mortar presence, with their entire offering supplied through digital means, usually through an app and on-line platform. They are fully functioning deposit-taking institutions and therefore fall under the supervision of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). APRA must provide a license before an institution may accept customer deposits. An unrestricted banking license permits a corporation to operate as a “banking business” and therefore an authorized deposit-taking institution (ADI) without restrictions under the Banking Act 1959. Part 5 of the Banking Act defines “banking business” as consisting of both taking deposits (other than as part-payment for identified goods and services) and making advances of money, as well as other financial activities prescribed by regulations made under the Banking Act. The arrival of neo-banking in Australia follows the emergence of start-up banks like Monzo and Starling in the UK.

  • Market Insight – October 2020
    SYDNEY MELBOURNE Level 15 Level 9 60 Castlereagh Street 41 Exhibition Street SYDNEY NSW 2000 MELBOURNE VIC 3000 Tel 61 2 9235 9400 Tel 61 3 9653 8600 Market Insight – October 2020 The Road Out Returning to Normal There is movement at the station for the word had passed around… that the market is open and the city of Sydney is keenly welcoming back its workforce. Ok, so not back to full capacity just yet, but we have seen a number of funds, banks & professional services firms return in some form to the office – week on/week off, book your desk with capacity % limits, split teams & floors, the list goes on. As a result, the corresponding increase in face to face meetings in offices, coffee shops or even over lunch - dare we say it is feeling almost a little more “normal“ around town. We at JMES have a sense that many are yearning to be back in the office in some form. The camaraderie created by spending time with colleagues side by side in the trenches surely trumps the back to back monotony of non-stop Zoom calls tied to a laptop at home. So, what next for 2021? We have all seen the high-profile new entrants in Barrenjoey & Jarden providing some market disruption. But there have also been other good examples of clients (funds, banks, corporates and government agencies) committed to completing hiring processes in Q3 and into Q4 – so whilst certainly not back to 2019 volumes, there is positive hiring momentum. A number of our clients have kicked off processes to ensure starters in place for Q1 of 2021, and notably, these are not just replacement hires but newly created roles, surely providing a level of confidence heading into the new year.

  • Australia's Best Banking Methodology Report
    Mozo Experts Choice Awards Australia’s Best Banking 2021 This report covers Mozo Experts Choice Australia’s Best Banking Awards for 2021. These awards recognise financial product providers who consistently provide great value across a range of different retail banking products. Throughout the past 12 months, we’ve announced awards for the best value products in home loans, personal loans, bank accounts, savings and term deposit accounts, credit cards, kids’ accounts. In each area we identified the most important features of each product, grouped each product into like-for-like comparisons, and then calculated which are better value than most. The Mozo Experts Choice Australia's Best Banking awards take into account all of the analysis we've done in that period. We look at which banking providers were most successful in taking home Mozo Experts Choice Awards in each of the product areas. But we also assess how well their products ranked against everyone else, even where they didn't necessarily win an award, to ensure that we recognise banking providers who are providing consistent value as well as areas of exceptional value. Product providers don’t pay to be in the running and we don’t play favourites. Our judges base their decision on hard-nosed calculations of value to the consumer, using Mozo’s extensive product database and research capacity. When you see a banking provider proudly displaying a Mozo Experts Choice Awards badge, you know that they are a leader in their field and are worthy of being on your banking shortlist. 1 Mozo Experts Choice Awards Australia’s Best Banking 2021 Australia’s Best Bank Australia’s Best Online Bank Australia's Best Large Mutual Bank Australia's Best Small Mutual Bank Australia’s Best Credit Union Australia’s Best Major Bank 2 About the winners ING has continued to offer Australians a leading range of competitively priced home and personal loans, credit cards and deposits, earning its place as Australia's Best Bank for the third year in a row.

We recognise the leading products with the Mozo Experts Choice Awards. ● For product providers, a Mozo Experts Choice Award is a thoroughly researched third-party endorsement of their product. ● For consumers, the Mozo Experts Choice Awards badge is a sign that a product is among the leaders in the market, and is worthy of consideration.
