Trust in Australian banks is dwindling – just 36% of Aussies believe their bank has their best interests at heart. With the sector amid a shake-up, Up is giving people an easier way to manage their money, with flexibility, in-depth analysis and more human communication.

A record number of Australians are opting to use 'buy now, pay later' schemes instead of traditional credit cards, with those aged 18-34 leading the charge. As Gen Yers and Zers struggle to manage their finances, they’re seeking out payment options that fit their lifestyles.

Why can’t Gen Y budget? And how is comparison culture fuelling bad credit? Canvas8 spoke with Melissa Browne, author of Unf*ck Your Finances, to discuss Australian Gen X and Y’s spending trends, their unhealthy relationship with money and how they can take control of their finances.

Aussies shoppers are creatures of habit, preferring to visit one-stop-shops both online and offline where they can pick up all they need at once. Cashback platform ShopBack is tapping into this behaviour by providing a centralised, streamlined way to get rewards from a range of brands.
