Anyone here banking with these guys? Not trying to open a can of racism but my first reaction was "Whoa, is my money safe there?"

Reason I ask is because they have a pretty sweet savings account, 7.2% variable atm.

**EDIT** This new bank came from nowhere as well: http://www.ubank.com.au/home/index.html

that is pretty f***ing good.. never heard of them but I guess if they're an Australian bank, your savings there are still guaranteed by the government, right?

Sounds good, as long as the government doesn't freeze your investments because they were funding an allies' enemies.

i know the uk one. mate arabs would be good with thier money. its not nigerian bank. isnt ing like 8%? it was a while back...

i think these guys have something to do with first mac;

i see a fair few first mac docs with arab banking stuff on them;

TBH I'd avoid any previously unheard of banks like the plague in the current financial market, regardless of the government's guarantee.

**EDIT** Sorry about double post, clicked reply instead of edit.

you can delete your own posts fyi

It was advertised on here for AGGEESSS when they first opened, I got a sweet 8% term deposit for 3 months, pretty stoked as it was just before rate cuts! :D

pinky I think is using the far superior ausgamers forum which, haha, isn't so superior to offer post deletion. I have just added that to the todo.

So why do superior ausgamers threads appear in the vastly inferior qgl forum? :P

^ Pinky, all the cool kids use: http://qgl.ausforums.com/index.php/439207/?agn=thread&id=2689600


You want to be cool now don't you....

The QGL colour scheme does my head in. Too dark. Although, at least I can see my own avatar on it - and the pink looks nice against the dark bg colour ;-)

But yeh, AG forum for me.

Plus, the whole 'Queensland' thing. Urgh.

shush fireblood, hes one of them

The QGL forum is fuuugly, I only ever go there when I have to delete posts. :P

i don't trust arabs...

- It's A-rabs not arabs
- UBANK is NAB
- QGL forum 4 life

That is all.

no suhaib endorsement, no laundry

The qgl forum might be ugly, the colours might make your eyes go wonky but at least it fills the entire screen unlike the ausgamers forum that leaves half the screen useless and covered in an even more ugly green colour.

qgl > ag

edit: wtf? I just looked at the ausgamers version of this thread and I have a completely different avatar. I lol'd

i didnt even know you could browse this forum from AG, guess i'm a bit behind the 8 ball lol.

Out of curiosity, are there any major differences between the two? I have used both and only noticed a layout/colour theme difference (and the aforementioned issue of different links/buttons on each).

Now that you've made me think about it, I have no idea why I use qgl and not ag.

Cus its better? And doesn't hurt your eyes

Ausgamers looks like one of those loud shirts my teacher used to wear.

QGL is just suave.

Hey if you'd like to continue the forum debate by all means do so , but please do it in this thread

edit: heh or the QGL equivalient if that's how you roll
