Lifehacker Awards 2014: Best Bank

The prizes keep going in the Lifehacker Awards 2014! This afternoon, we’re unveiling the winner of best bank.

Readers’ Choice: Commonwealth


Commonwealth’s continued technology innovation — which has included contactless payments from phones and major back-end improvements — has clearly won over readers. Second place went to ING Direct.

Editor’s Pick: Commonwealth


My bank gratitude reached a new level last week after I lost my wallet. Ugh. Not so easy trying to get home with no money for a start. Then my brain kicked into gear and I remembered that the NetBank app has a cardless cash option, so you can withdraw money from an ATM with a one-time code. Plus I could temporarily lock my credit card. Absolutely made an inevitably painful and inconvenient experience easier.

Thanks everyone for voting! Keep checking back throughout the week for more winners.
