We’re upgrading our digital banking platform to deliver a smoother, more intuitive experience, bringing greater value, better service, and new benefits for our members.

As we make this transition, you’ll continue to receive the same great service from the MoveBank team, whether over the phone, at our branch, or digitally.

What's ahead?

A fresh new look

We’re updating our logo, colour scheme, and overall look, inspired by our rail heritage. Our new brand direction draws from the experience of looking out a train window, where the landscape blurs into motion, shaped by speed, direction, and time.


Have upcoming travel plans?

See our FAQs below for more information on how we can support you over Moving Day.

No more monthly account-keeping fees

There will no longer be monthly account-keeping fees on MoveBank transaction accounts.

Better digital banking

You’ll be able to use our new App and Online Banking. These are some of the improved features:

  • > Add your card to your digital wallet from the App — use Apple Pay or Google Pay
    • - New accounts opened with a card can also instantly add new cards to Digital Wallets
  • > Manage your transfer limits — change them when you need to online
  • > Added security checks — there will be extra measures to help protect your accounts

Have an existing MoveBank Visa Card?

Your new card is on its way

As part of the upgrade to our new banking system, all current cardholders will receive a new MoveBank Visa debit or credit card in the mail. Here's what you need to know.

Receiving your new card

Your new card will arrive to your nominated mailing address before Moving Day, along with simple instructions to pre‑activate it so it’s ready to use when the new system goes live.

You will be able to download the new MoveBank App once you receive your card.

Monthly statements

We'll be sending all statements to you electronically unless you instruct us to send you paper statements. If you wish to continue receiving paper statements, please let us know before Moving Day by updating your preferences under ‘Statement Options’ in the Online Banking Settings menu, calling us on 1300 362 216, or visiting us in branch. You can request to switch back to paper statements at any time after Moving Day.

Please note that online statements are more secure and arrive sooner than mailed ones, which can be intercepted. From Moving Day, you’ll receive one statement per account, sent monthly.

Your existing historic MoveBank statements will be made available via the MoveBank App or Online Banking.

Same great service

What won’t change is the way we support you. We care for our members and we’re here to help you, as we always have.

When is the upgrade happening?

You will have access to the new banking experience on Moving Day, the date on which the upgrade takes effect, and you can begin using your new card, along with the new features on the new MoveBank App and Online Banking.

We will keep you informed of when Moving Day will be.

Please check your postal address, mobile number, and email address are up to date, so we can send you important updates as they’re ready.

Until then, please keep using our current App and Online banking until we advise you to make the switch.

 

How do I update my contact details?

You can update your details in the existing MoveBank App or Online Banking on our website.

You can also speak with one of our team over the phone (1300 362 216) or at our branch.

 

What else can I do to prepare for the change?

There will be a few important steps to help you prepare for the upgrade. We’ll share these details closer to the time, when they’re most relevant.

How do I know a message is really from Move?

Please keep an eye on your email and letterbox for updates from us during the change.

During this time, please stay alert to messages that don’t feel right. We will not ask for your passwords, one‑time security codes, or remote access to your device.

If you’re unsure whether a message is genuinely from us, contact us directly using the phone number on our website or your bank statement.

 

Important updates to our terms and conditions

Part of our commitment to our members is to ensure that we provide all the products and services that you need and expect from a bank. To deliver on this, we are making some changes to our products and the terms and conditions.

You can access our updated terms and conditions at movebank.com.au/updatedterms.
