vickyplum Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hi all Just opened a Commonwealth Bank account online. Of course I still need to go and show my ID at the branch I chose when registering, but I'll have plenty of time on my hands when I arrive...! Will let you know how it goes [won't be happening until after 27 May though]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j19jjr Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Have you made your first payment into your new account yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maruska Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 We opened an account online before we arrived ( with NAB). Had an appointment 2 days after arrival, cards were waiting for us at the branch. It wasn`t a hassle at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srg73 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If I had my time again, I would not have opened with Commonwealth. I guess none of the banks are as easy to deal with as UK, make sure your nominated branch opens on Saturday otherwise you are left with the problem of having to visit between 10-4 m-f which is not easy if working full time.

Eera Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Make sure you put a bit of money in it; I did mine a couple of months before I arrived and they suspended it by the time I got there due to non-use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickyplum Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) No money in yet, but it's payday tomorrow, so I'll make the most of it and make a transfer. @srg73 - if they are rubbish I can always change to another bank further down the line. @Eera thanks for the tip off!
