@Baku About time they backed off. Our banks most profitable in the world. We the users are doing it tough, and they still reporting record profits. It's why I use a community based bank!
I've used CUA (now Great Southern Bank) for 19 years, and I never want to change. Never had an issue with them, great customer service on the phone and in-person.
I read these stories about these major banks, and I'm thankful I've never migrated banks lol. This is just insane.
$3.00‽ What a rort
Good use of the interrobang (such a dirty sounding word), chudsy
Once I turn 18, I'm closing my CommBank account and going to ING. They seem to have the best feature set and terms for my needs. Macquarie and great Southern also came up though
A word of warning. Macquarie I fear is this close to forcing use of its app. You can still do OG netbanking via the browser like an adult for now, but their vision of the world is made very clear. I don't know whether it's regulation preventing them from pulling the trigger or just sane voices in their IT department.
I've been meaning to investigate credit union options for a long time now, because listed banks in general are becoming increasingly invasive and restrictive in terms of how you get to access your own livelihood.
