  • 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.

Many of these surprises are good things. Some are not so good. That is why people need their bank to be a reliable partner, helping them to deal with whatever life brings. Because this year’s report is inspired by real life, its graphics portray some of life’s more pleasant aspects, as well as a few of its less enjoyable features. Thus, the images present a range of contrasts, and our cover offers up a kaleidoscope of moments drawn from daily life. That is simply how life works. From the exciting to the ordinary, from the expected to the unanticipated, life is always changing and makes demands on all of us. And UniCredit is here to lend a hand.

  • 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.
