Up

The Beginning

In the beginning, Up began as just a partnership between Bendigo Bank and Ferocia. Together they had big ideas about how banking could be better for young Australians. And together they knew they could make it real. Ferocia is a tight team, with a fierce lion mascot and international experience building best-in-class tech for banks. From that partnership, they launched Up in October 2018 and it's grown at rocket speed, becoming bigger than even thought possible. The Ferocia team has grown and have officially joined the Bendigo family. They now help over 700,000 customers and are still laser-focused on building the best digital banking experience on earth.

Digital Only, Better for All.

As a neobank, Up operates entirely online, without any physical branches, allowing it to streamline operations and pass on cost savings to customers. Up's commitment to transparency is evident in its fee-free approach, meaning no monthly account fees, foreign exchange fees, or ATM withdrawal fees, making it an attractive option for cost-conscious users. The platform's seamless integration with various payment services and digital wallets enables users to enjoy a convenient and interconnected banking experience. With its refreshing take on modern banking and emphasis on simplicity and user experience, Up Bank has successfully carved a niche in the Australian financial landscape, attracting a growing community of users who seek a more agile and intuitive way to manage their money.
