If you already own an Everyday Transaction Account prior to 19/11/14, refer a friend and you could both receive $50.

When you refer a new EveryDay Transaction Account (ETA) customer, they just need to make sure they provide your ETA account number in the “Additional Information” section – promotion code field.

Terms and Conditions:
New applicant - Open your first EveryDay Transaction Account (ETA) between 19/11/14 - 30/11/14, include the referrer’s ME Bank EveryDay Transaction Account number in the promotional code field and you will receive $50 into your ETA account within 30 days of their account being opened. If you held an EveryDay Transaction Account prior to 19 November 2014 you are ineligible for this offer.

Referrer – You must have an ETA open prior to 19 November 2014. You will receive $50 for each new EveryDay Transaction Account customer up to a maximum of 10 new customers.

$50 bonus will be credited to your ETA within 30 days of your friend’s account being opened.

      Hi stevednj48,

      I think you need to edit your settings to allow private messages as I am currently not allowed to start a new conversation with you.

      Thanks

      • stevednj48 on 21/11/2014 - 21:31

  • twosixfiveoh on 21/11/2014 - 21:16

    I have been using ME Bank for a number of years. My only concern with them is that their Internet banking is not as stable as the Big 4 - often doing system maintenance of some kind. The plus about ME Bank is that they have low fees. You get what you pay for.

  • Munificent on 21/11/2014 - 21:19

    Cool, let me know if you need a an ETA number as well :)

    OP, do you know if this was a targetted offer? The link seems to have a reference ID

    • 729fx on 21/11/2014 - 21:21

      I don't think it is targeted. The link was taken directly from an ME Bank Sponsored Post on Facebook.

      Isn't that extremely dangerous?????

      People can figure out the MeBank BSB, and now they have your account number.

      You open yourself up to direct debits

        i dont think so, many companies have their account details visible on their websites.

        • muncan on 21/11/2014 - 22:06

          @Jezzzzza: I was just wondering this recently when emailing them a direct credit form to transfer funds to another bank. What's stopping someone else with my account details and knowledge of my balance from transferring the lot to their bank account using a direct credit form? I'm pretty sure they don't even have my signature on file.
          Direct credit forms seem to be a pretty big back door for your account, since they don't have any modern authorisation features.

        • easternculture on 21/11/2014 - 22:19

          @muncan:

          They need your full name, DOB and residential address on record before they can process the direct debt form

        • muncan on 21/11/2014 - 22:40

          @easternculture: They don't need to know DOB or address. Here's the direct credit form. You can just fax it in…

        • easternculture on 21/11/2014 - 22:47

          @muncan:

          then make sure you dont give out your full name to a random ozbargainer

        • muncan on 21/11/2014 - 22:49

          @easternculture: Indeed!
          Thankfully I've already left ME Bank ;-)

        makes sense, luckily I don't keep money in there anymore.

      • easternculture on 22/11/2014 - 16:17

        No probs. Too much personal messages makes the wiki messy.

        Please everyone Just your username and referral ID.

        Ive put in BOLD at the top for users to pm you if they use your code. Please no personal or bolded messages, lets make it fair to everyone.

  • CVonC on 21/11/2014 - 21:44

      • Iwantthatbargain on 21/11/2014 - 22:30

        So the code has to be entered by referee or the person who opens the account ?

  • Geewhizz on 22/11/2014 - 06:33

    I'm thinking people should somehow be keeping check on how many referrals have been made by the one account. Once the maximum of 10 has been reached, neither the referrer nor the referee will receive the bonus.

    • spendinghacker on 22/11/2014 - 10:01

      neither the referrer nor the referee will receive the bonus

      I agree that the referrer will not get more cash once their code has been used 10 times but how did you come to the conclusion that the referee will not get their cash?

      All it says for the referee is:

      "Open your first EveryDay Transaction Account (ETA) between 19/11/14 - 30/11/14, include the referrer’s ME Bank EveryDay Transaction Account number in the promotional code field and you will receive $50 into your ETA account within 30 days of their account being opened. If you held an EveryDay Transaction Account prior to 19 November 2014 you are ineligible for this offer."

      The way I read it, a new customer can use ANY account number from the Wiki and they will get paid. If they don't send the ACCC and FIO 'hound dogs' to bite ME Bank for deceptive and misleading advertising.

  • Iwantthatbargain on 22/11/2014 - 08:06

      This is indeed an interesting and potentially 'game changing' marketing strategy employed by ME Bank.

      I have always been one of the biggest and loudest advocates of the mantra:
      "Once benefit is extracted and account is no longer of use, CLOSE it, even if there is no cost to keep it open"

      If more banks start adopting this approach, I might have to revise this advice and am always happy to do so. The modern consumer world is fast paced and constantly changing :). Maybe it will be better to indeed keep 'disposable' accounts open PROVIDED there is no cost in doing so.

      Personally, I think this is a very smart strategy by ME Bank and more companies should start employing it (and not just in the financial services sector). It is time companies started rewarding their existing customers and not just constantly be on the hunt for new ones, forcing existing customers to constantly 'churn' in order to get the best deal.

    Please can the person using the code from the Wiki put a count starting from 1 and other using the same code increment it by 1 so no one uses it once it reaches 10..this way it will be fair and others also get a go too…Thanks all!

    • iamthatguy on 22/11/2014 - 10:53

      It won't work as the Wiki is publicly available, i.e. anyone can access the wiki without logging in to Ozbargain. Hence, someone might use the referral without having an Ozbargain account in which case they won't be able to update the Wiki.

      have a feeling they may try and update the terms and conditions when they see so many account (1000's) applications on Monday Morning (Something like deposit $1000 and keep for 30 days etc)

      Make sure you keep some screen shots of current T&C

    I don't know if account numbers are sequential but some account numbers in the referral wiki are higher than the one I opened this morning so maybe some people aren't reading the conditions.

    • devilbabies on 22/11/2014 - 18:48

      choose an earlier number to be sure. the earliest ones seem to start with 013.

      0137xxxxx is the lowest number with more than one example.

      • Costanza on 22/11/2014 - 18:56

        Ahan was close to cutoff so <= theirs should be good if they are sequential

        • FiDad on 22/11/2014 - 19:38

          I am quite sure account number are sequential as my account number starts with 01399 and my wife account number starts with 014 and her account was opened about a month after me. Both our account are about 2 year old
