We’re working on setting up the ability to spend money easily in Australia. We’re looking at Wise for transfers and starting to live in Aus. As we roll into collecting pay, are there any banks or credit unions that are recommended or actively discouraged from using?
My wife is also an immigrant. Welcome! It’s a fine country.
Immigrants are overwhelmingly welcome, as that is the bulk of the country if you go back only a handful of generations.
Most banks are assholes like anywhere in the world. Try building societies, or smaller banks.
Which state are you immigrating to? That could help.
