As a mobile only bank, the easiest way to access your Xinja Accounts is via the App. Of course, if you need to contact Xinjarati, you can reach us via chat, email or phone.
Is there a minimum balance?
There is no minimum on your Xinja Accounts.
You must keep enough money in your Xinja Accounts to cover your payments. Your payment instructions will fail if you donât have enough money in your account. Internal transfers between your Xinja Accounts wonât work if it results in one of the accounts going into negative balance.
If one of your Accounts goes into a negative balance you must immediately top up the Account back to zero or a positive balance. If your Account remains in negative balance, we may combine your Xinja Accounts or take legal action.
Is there a maximum balance?
The maximum combined balance across your Xinja Accounts is $245,000 (including any interest earned on your Xinja Stash). If a payment (such as the deposit of your salary) would push the total combined balance across your Xinja Accounts over $245,000, we will contact you so that you can tell us where to transfer the excess balance.
Can I authorise a third party to access and transact on Xinja Accounts on my behalf?
Currently we donât have a facility to allow third parties such as your accountant or solicitor to access or transact on your Account on your behalf. Only you may use your Xinja Accounts.
Can Xinja stop me from using my Accounts?

What happens if money deposited to my Accounts is recalled by the other financial institution?
Sometimes money may be credited to your Xinja Account in error eg. the sender provides incorrect BSB or account number, and another financial institution requires the money to be returned. If this happens:
- weâll debit your Xinja Account for the amount deposited in error if there is enough money in your Account (or any other Xinja Account you hold) to cover the recalled amount
- if there are insufficient funds in your Xinja Accounts to cover the recalled amount, you must immediately repay the recalled amount plus any associated fees incurred by Xinja.
We donât accept liability for money credited to your Xinja Accounts in error by another financial institution.
