Banking as an expat (aussie.zone)

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 (if that’s even a thing outside of the US) that are recommended or actively discouraged from using?

We also have !ausfinance@aussie.zone and !ama@aussie.zone, just FYI :) (not saying you shouldn't have posted this in !brisbane or anything)

Appreciate the suggestions. I thought to start here since we’ll be setting up home in Brisbane. Posted now in those other communities.

Yeah, absolutely fair enough, and for all I know there could be some helpful region-specific information around banking (particularly when it comes to physical branch offices).
