• Xinja is building an Australian, independent 100% digital bank - or 'neobank' - designed entirely for mobile. It will allow customers to make intuitive, optimised, rapid & better money decisions without the angst. Quick and easy to use (you will be able to access a new account in seconds, get instant balance updates on payments and start saving with a simple swipe) it is being built around customers' needs, with their input, and in their interests. Unencumbered by the expense of branches or older legacy systems, it will offer low or no fees, and highly competitive rates.
• Please note, Xinja is not a bank yet, but we want to be and we're working with regulators to become one.
