\"\"<\/p>\n

NAB has acknowledged issues with an update to its banking app for Android that chokes the user\u2019s device CPU and drains its battery.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not only were they taking money away from their home loan customers<\/a> for years, now they’re sucking your battery dry too!<\/p>\n

Users are reporting the app can drain up to 50% of their phone’s battery life within a matter of hours.<\/p>\n

NAB’s solution for now appears to be uninstalling the app and requesting users use mobile web banking instead.<\/p>\n

The issue appears to affect Samsung devices running Android 9 more than others, but has been confirmed to aggressively drain most Android devices in general.<\/p>\n
