UBank Online

What is UBank Online Banking?

UBank Online Banking provides secure access to your UBank accounts from a computer connected to the Internet. You can do all your banking from the convenience of your own home or office.

How do I start using UBank Online Banking?

If you are a UBank customer and have a login email and password, simply log in at ubank.com.au

If you are a UBank customer, but you don't have a login email and password or Telephone Banking PIN, you can apply for one right now by calling 13 30 80 anytime, 24/7.

Can I use UBank Online Banking for my NAB personal accounts and business accounts?

Sorry, but no. You can only view your UBank accounts.

Can I allow other people to access my UBank accounts using UBank Online Banking?

Sorry, but no. Only you can access your accounts.

Can I have the same password for UBank Online Banking as for my Telephone Banking?

Sorry, but No. This is a security feature. Your Telephone Banking PIN can only consist of numbers (eg. 91827364).

Your UBank Online password must consist of both letters and numbers (eg. Jazz303).

Is there a time limit to complete the Sign Up form?

To ensure your privacy and security online we have a time out limit of 20 minutes. Time out occurs when you've not entered any information or progressed to the next stage of the application.

If your application times out or you're experiencing difficulties, close the window and try again.

If you continue to experience difficulties, call us and speak to a real person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 13 30 80(or +61 2 8756 0855 if you're overseas).

Can I save my online application and come back later?

Unfortunately we don't have a 'save for later' function for our application at the moment. But we've spent a lot of time with prospective customers, and we learned during our focus groups and trials that most people take around 3-5 minutes to complete the application so you'll be finished in no time.

How long can I have UBank Online Banking open for before I'm timed out?

For security and privacy reasons we automatically log you out after 20 minutes of inactivity.

You can log in again by re-entering your login email and password, and go straight back to 'MyMoney'.

Why do I need to provide an email address?

We'll use this to send you info about your account(s). For instance, we'll send you an email to confirm that we've received your application, or to help in identifying you for transactions. Your personal details, including contact information, are kept secure in accordance with our privacy policy.

For joints accounts, each party to the account must provide an email address.

And while we need you to have one, don't worry - we won't spam you! We won't send you marketing material unless you ask us to.

I don't have an email address. How do I get one?

There are lots of free web based email services that allow you to set up your own email account. These include:

Gmail from Google
Hotmail from Microsoft Live
Ymail from Yahoo

All these providers will have different services and offers. Be sure to read their terms and conditions.

If you'd prefer not to use one of the above email providers, or you have an email address you share with someone else, we suggest contacting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and requesting an additional email account. Most ISPs set this up for free.

What if I share my email address with someone else?

If you have an email address you share with someone else, we need you to setup a new one - just for you. There are many reputable free providers.

Gmail from Google
Hotmail from Microsoft Live
Ymail from Yahoo

If you'd prefer not to use one of the above email providers, or you have an email address you share with someone else, we suggest contacting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and requesting an additional email account. Most ISPs set this up for free.

I can't log in.

Double check that the email address and password that you've entered is correct. This is the email and password you gave us when you signed up or applied online.

If you still can't log in, simply give us a call and speak to a real person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 13 30 80 (or +61 2 8756 0855 if you’re overseas).

I've entered my email address and password, and clicked to login, but nothing happens.

It's possible JavaScript is disabled on your internet browser – and our website needs it to be on in order to work properly. Check your browser help for instructions on how to turn this on.

If you're still experiencing difficulties, call us and speak to a real person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 13 30 80 or (+61 2 8756 0855 if you're overseas).

Nothing happens when I access UBank Online Banking.

UBank Online Banking opens in a new browser tab or window, depending on your internet browser settings.

There are two common reasons for nothing happening when trying to access UBank Online Banking:

1. It's possible the browser window is hidden behind your visible one. Minimise your internet browser to check if it's behind.

2. JavaScript is disabled on your internet browser. Check your browser help for instructions on how to turn this on.

If you're still experiencing difficulties, call us and speak to a real person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 13 30 80 or (+61 2 8756 0855 if you're overseas).

When I click on any of the links in 'MyMoney' to access online banking (like 'View my Account summary') I get taken to the same window. Shouldn't I be directed to the respective window?

At present we're unable to take you straight into the relevant section of UBank Online Banking that you've selected. Sorry for the extra click, we're working on it.

What is Money Box?

Money Box is our way of simplifying the world of finance through a selection of articles, news talk and webisodes – so you can make even more of your money.

Security

What security measures does UBank have in place?

Security of communications and transactions over the Internet is important for both UBank and our customers, and we'd like to let you know that the UBank Online security system has been selected by our data security experts following extensive research.

To help deliver secure Internet Banking services, UBank has implemented a solution that seeks to provide robust authentication and privacy.

That's why Encryption of information between the customer and UBank is provided by an industry standard 128-bit SSL encryption technology. This is the current security standard utilised by most banks in Australia in connection with their internet banking customers.

In addition to our sophisticated cryptographic implementation, robust firewall technology is employed to help to protect UBank's internal systems and customer's information against intrusion from the Internet.

UBank has introduced these measures to ensure a secure environment for you to bank online.

How secure is my log in?

As you'd expect from a bank, we're 100% committed to protecting your security and privacy online. Check out full details on our security

What does the padlock icon mean?

The padlock icon signifies that you're accessing a secure web page. The padlock icon will appear when you've logged in or accessed a secure section of the UBank website.

We've worked with VeriSign to be one of the first Australian banks to use Extended Validation SSL Certificates. These certificates help you be sure you're on the legitimate UBank website, and not an imitation.

Why does my browser address bar appear green in certain sections of ubank.com.au

If you use version 7 or 8 of Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 3+ of Mozilla Firefox, or Safari 3.2, you'll see that your address bar or text has turned green when you visit secure sections of the UBank website. This is because UBank is using Extended Validation SSL Certificates.

How do I reset my password?

In most cases you can reset your password online yourself.

Select 'Help With Logging In' and follow the instructions. If you have a UBank account, have your mobile phone handy as we'll send you an SMS as part of the process.

But if you'd prefer to talk to us, simply give us a call and speak to a real person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 13 30 80 (or +61 2 8756 0855 from outside Australia if you're overseas).

What do I do if I forget my password?

When logging into UBank Online Banking, you have up to three attempts to enter your UBank Online Banking password correctly. If you forget your password or enter the wrong one too many times you will be asked to re-register with UBank Online Banking. This is because your Online Banking password cannot be reset or reactivated as no-one knows it but you. To re-register, you can use your Telephone Banking PIN or if you are registered for SMS Security, you will be asked to key in the SMS Security authorisation code sent to your mobile phone. If you cannot re-register because you have forgotten your Telephone Banking PIN, contact our Direct Banking Centre on 13 30 80 for further assistance.

What do I do if I think my password has been compromised?

If you think your password has been compromised:

  • Change your password immediately within the 'my settings' feature of UBank Online Banking, or
  • Contact our Direct Banking Centre on 13 30 80 for assistance.

How does UBank make sure that only I can access my accounts?

You must enter a login email address and Online Password every time you access the system. The password is known ONLY to you.

What can I do to maximise security?

  • Keep your password secret.
  • Never leave your computer unattended while logged onto UBank Online Banking.
  • Don't use your date of birth, telephone number, address, your name or the name of a friend or relative in your password.
  • Change your password regularly.
  • Don't use a password you use for anything else (e.g. your answering service).
  • Ensure that you use Virus Detection Software to protect your computer from Trojan viruses.
  • Ensure that you are not observed or heard entering you password (e.g. screen reader software voices data entry and screen text to assist visually impaired users).

What do I do if I notice an unauthorised transaction has gone through my account?

If you believe your Online Banking information has been compromised or you notice a transaction you did not initiate, you must contact our Direct Banking Centre immediately on 13 30 80 anytime, 24/7.

What do I do if I have made an error with a payment?

If you believe you have made an error with a payment you have submitted, contact the Direct Banking Centre Team immediately on 13 30 80 anytime, 24/7.

Why do you monitor UBank Online Banking and Telephone Banking transactions?

The improved monitoring of all UBank Online Banking and Telephone Banking transactions is an added service UBank has adopted to help ensure transactions are initiated by authorised persons. 

What happens if UBank detects a suspicious transaction?

If a suspicious transaction is detected, we will investigate to confirm if the transaction is authorised. This may involve phoning the customer to confirm that the transaction was initiated by the correct person. 

SMS security

What is SMS Security?

SMS Security is free and available to all UBank Online Banking and Telephone Banking customers. It provides an additional layer of security when making "high risk" detail changes and all payments via Online Services or Telephone Services. Typically we will send you a Security Code via SMS to your mobile number confirming instructions you may give us including:

  • Pay Anyone with a daily limit of $20,000 per customer per business day.
  • Detail changes deemed as high risk like changing your residential address.

How does SMS Security work?

UBank will send you a randomly generated one time SMS Security code to your nominated mobile phone each time you make a request to transfer money outside of your own account(s) or when you register/re-register for UBank Online Banking or Telephone Banking.

All you have to do is key in the SMS Security Code online or provide the code to our Direct Banking Specialists over the phone and your transaction is verified.

Why has SMS Security been introduced?

SMS Security means that even if your login email and password or Telephone PIN fall into the wrong hands, funds cannot be transferred without providing us with the SMS Security Code. With a whole extra layer of protection, you can bank online with extra peace of mind.

How does SMS Security protect me?

Normally when you log into UBank Online Banking, you use your login email and password. If a fraudster manages to obtain your login email and password, they could be able to transfer funds out of your accounts.

With SMS Security, the fraudster will not be able to transfer any funds from your account because they don't have your mobile phone to receive the SMS Security code.

Does it cost me to receive an SMS?

UBank will not charge customers to receive an SMS message. Customers should check with their mobile network provider to confirm if they would be charged for receiving SMS messages particularly when overseas.

Can I make transfers to and from my account using SMS Security while overseas?

Yes. You'll need the mobile which is registered to your UBank account and also don't forget to contact your phone provider and set your mobile to global roaming. We're committed to ensuring security for our customers so if you don't have your mobile with you, unfortunately we won't be able to complete the transfer.

Can I change the mobile phone number that I have registered for receiving SMS messages?

For security and privacy reasons, we don't allow you to update your telephone number(s) online.

To update your telephone number(s), all you have to do is give us a call, and speak to a real person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 13 30 80 (or +61 2 8756 0855 if you're overseas).

When does an SMS Security Code expire?

The SMS Security Code is only valid for the current transaction or addition/amendment to a payee it was generated for and is valid for 10 mins.

Once you have completed or cancelled the transaction or addition/amendment, the code is no longer valid.

To avoid confusion, delete the message from your mobile phone when the SMS code has been successfully keyed into UBank Online and accepted.

Is SMS Security compulsory?

Yes, UBank uses SMS Security for all UBank Online Banking and Telephone Banking.

Technical requirements

What software do I need?

The only software you need, is a recent version of a browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox, which you can download from the web. All customers should keep their operating system and security software updated including anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam and firewall.
