it sucks when you go to the supermarket and buy a whole heap of goodies and use your atm card only to find that you have 69 cents left in your account, the 20 bucks you thought you had in there was gobbled up by some kind of new fee the banks have dreamed up to justify takin more of yr money! ...
It sucks when:
* you got to the ATM to make a wthdrawal and it insists you make a deposit instead.
* you go into the bank to report someone is skimming cash from your card and find out it's them.
* you're so poor your monthy bank statement comes on the back of a postage stamp;
* the loans officer asks if you have $10,000 collateral on a $500 loan.
* despite signing in front of her, the teller refuses to accept the signature on the withdrawal slip is yours.
* your surrounded by armed security, weapons drawn, all because staff noticed your son is carrying a water pistol.
Seriously, now!!! Kitty, if you have a Suncorp branch nearby, switch to them instead. I have been with Suncorp for the last 6-7 years and have never ever paid accounting fees, etc... apart from a few small foreign currency conversion fees (something our dear gov't dreamed up) when I made overseas purchases via the internet using my debit card. Suncorp has a 55+ account that is completely fee free... and no, you don't have to be 55+ to qualify for one.
So yeah, look into it... cos those fees chew up your cash and it makes a big difference when you don't get a lot to begin with. I've never had a problem with Suncorp, nor has any of my family, who are all with them as well.
