At MoveBank, we are making some changes so that banking with us is simple and more secure.
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.
We’re here to support you every step of the way, just as we always have.

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.
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
A new card
We’ll send you a new MoveBank Visa® card before the upgrade to replace your existing debit or credit cards. We’ll confirm when the cards have been sent and what you need to do when you receive yours.
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 paper statements are more likely to be intercepted and therefore preferred for security reasons, they are also available to you sooner than mailed statements. Statements will now be sent monthly with one statement per account.
Your existing historic MoveBank statements will be made available via the MoveBank App or Online Banking.
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.
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.
