We’ve written about aussie digital bank Up a bit, with good reason – we’re pretty fond of their approach to banking, with fast signup and a lovely, well-designed app that lets you integrate with Google Pay from the beginning.

If you’re not already an Up customer, the company is running a promotion to encourage you to sign up and get going. The first 10,000 signups from November 11 until the end of the year who set up and use Google Pay 5 times within 10 days will receive the $5 bonus.

You can get up and running with Up inside 3 minutes, and get provisioned for Google Pay almost immediately. If you’re eligible for the $5 Google Pay promotion, you’ll see a message about it in the app. Find the details page for the offer on Up’s website here.

If you feel like sharing the love around, you should check out Up’s referral program as well: sign your mates “up” for Up, and you can both get a $5 credit, and they’ll get the Google Pay $5 bonus on top.
Are you an Up user? Just about to sign up? Tell us your thoughts on the service in the comments.

Before discovering the Nexus One, Jason thought he didn't need a smartphone. Now he can't bear to be without his Android phone. Jason hails from Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane depending on his mood and how detailed a history you'd like. A web developer by day with an interest in consumer gadgets and electronics, he also enjoys reading comics and has a worryingly large collection of Transformers figures. He'd like to think he's a gamer, but his Wii has been in a box since he moved to Sydney, and his PlayStation Vita collection is quite lacking.
