Ubank has quietly launched a short-run referral offer and it is one of the easiest $100 going around but it closes at 11:59pm this Friday, 28 August.

New customers get $100 for simply joining using our code + making 5x card purchases of $5 or more!

πŸ’° What you get

If you are new to ubank: $100.

If you refer someone: $100 for your first friend, then $30 for every friend after that. There is no cap on how many people you can refer! 

βœ… What you have to do

1. Download the ubank app and sign up β€” takes about 10 minutes. Get the app here

2. When you get to the page asking for a referral code make sure you insert our code ⬇️

7G4K1MU - Our Referral Code

If you don't.... you won't get the $100 bonus.

 For full disclosure we will benefit from the same referral bonuses you will too when you act quick and invite your friends before the 28th!

3. Transfer some money in from any Australian bank account.

4. Make 5 card purchases of $5 or more each within your first 30 days. Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Garmin Pay or the ubank Visa Debit card all count.

That is the whole thing. Five ordinary purchases you were going to make anyway. This whole process should take 10 mins and then just choosing to pay with a different eftpos card. 

⚠️ The bits worth knowing

Your purchases must SETTLE, not just show up. If a transaction is still showing as "pending" in your history when the 30 days is up, it does not count. Make them early in the month, not on day 29.

You must be new. If you have been a ubank customer at any point in the past 12 months, you are not eligible.

You must be 18 or over. Both sides of the referral do.

The money is not instant. Allow up to a month after you have met the criteria for it to land in your Spend account. Realistically you are looking at around two months from signup to cash.

It can end early. ubank has allocated a limited pool of bonus payments and the offer stops the moment that runs out β€” even if it is before Friday.

The app can be slow to verify on signup. If you get a "Signup temporarily unavailable" message, that is your phone checking the app with Apple rather than anything you have done. Restart your phone and try again, or switch between wifi and mobile data. Come back in a few hours. 

🎟️ Our referral code

7G4K1MU

Enter it while you are signing up. If you forget it, you cannot go back and add it, and there is no bonus.

Full disclosure: this is my referral code, so I earn a small bonus when someone signs up with it. You'll get $100 when you use it as long as you hit the requirements above! 

⏰ The deadline

11:59pm AEST, Friday 28 August 2026. Or whenever the bonus pool runs out β€” whichever comes first so be quick!
