Security Measures

We’ve taken a look at the Security Process of Bamboo and they use third party intermediary called Basiq (part-owned by NAB) to connect your bank account to their app. They need this to read transactions and calculate the round-ups, and ofcourse take the direct debit payments from your bank account to invest with the App.

What Banks Are Supported?

Most of the major Australia and New Zealand banks are supported including Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Macquarie Bank Limited, National Australia Bank Limited.

What are the Fees?

We’ve also taken a look at the fees. “A deposit/withdraw flat fee applies when the amount is: less than or equal to $100, the fee is $1.49. more than $100 but less than or equal to $250, the fee is $2.49. more than $250 but less than or equal to $500, the fee is $3.99 more than $500, the fee is 0.8%.All fees are inclusive of GST.”
