Guest cj321 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Has anyone tried Credit Unions, similar to banks (cheque accounts, savings, loans and internet etc.) but usually cheaper especially for us pensioners. We are with Police & Nurses in Perth but have also heard others are as cheap. Have also heard that Bendigo Bank and BankWest are OK too.

Guest waliam Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I am looking at banks as well. How are HSBC in Gold coast as I have already an account with them here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt & Sarah Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 We signed up with Westpac, with a current account and internet/phone savings one. We did the application online, which was really quick and easy. They opened the account and sent the details in just a few days and we've since sent a transfer, phoned and set up the internet banking and checked that the money is in the accounts. Good so far.

Guest beermeister Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Yes, it's the bank charges in Oz that are a bloody nuisance - account keeping fees (a monthly fee just to be lucky enough to be their customer), auto-teller fees, cheque fees, and the list goes on......
