So #UpBank is going to start doing the sneaky thing a few other banks do (which should be illegal) where they steal the interest from your savings for that month if you (god forbid) need to use some of your own money during the calendar month, while marketing the theft as "helping you save". I switched from ING to Up Bank because ING started doing this a while ago. Anyway, looks like I'm in the market for a new bank. I'll probably go with Ubank, but happy to take recommendations.
Edit: Ubank are doing the same in October 🙃 (thanks nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqxlxz8luh3d22x0fm3fsv5gnmhc9gk8zz6pyj8panwztslx8wtnpsxdw58a (nprofile…w58a))
