  • i've opened accounts with st george bank a couple of times and the online process never seems to go smoothly

  • Similar offer is also offered by Westpac - Westpac Choice account.

    • Where?

      • The Westpac cashback offer has now expired.

    When I click send text me verification code, it would give me error

    • Same for me yesterday on Android (without trying desktop mode). It worked for me today using Chrome on Windows.

    Monthly account fee is $5 unless you deposit at least $2000 into the account each month

    .

    ensure the account remains open for at least 55 days from the date of account opening

    So you either:

    • deposit $2000, and another $2000 a month later, and get $50 cash, or
    • deposit $500, get charged 2x monthly fee, get $40 cash.
    • +3

      you can deposit it and immediately withdraw it anyway

    Could create 3 accounts in 3 different banks and get $150. Get your partner to also join : $300 free

      Wouldn't opening one exclude you from the other two?

        No idea

    perhaps a silly question, but if I open one account each with St. George Bank and Bank of Melbourne, would I get $100 (assuming I meet stated criteria), or would I get just $50 in one of those 2?

    • +3

      they all use the same bank system, so just one.

  • For some reason this is only $40 at BankSA.

  • Can we open the close it when you get the bonus?

  • Got get around to doing this one of these days…
    Seems like so much mucking around for a future $50

  • Hey OP, I created my account and I got an email saying that it waived fees for 3 months but I have to go in branch to verify Student status w/ Student ID card in order to have the fees waived entirely. What happens if I don't have time to go in branch? Can I do this over the phone and send an email of my student ID card?

    When you inevitably have to go in to confirm identity, does anyone here say upfront:

    "Listen, lady! I don't wanna be hassled for the next 15 minutes with home loan and credit card offers. Take it easy, let me walk outta here $50 richer and head home to Fido and your loving family. Capiche?!"

    I normally admit to them I just signed up for the $50 but I've never asked them to quit the "upsell", usually out of politeness.

  • Has anyone received their card?

    • +1

      it's taken a week for them to send me an email saying my account is open. hopeless. and even though i supplied my id during online application, i still need to go to a branch to verify it. what is the point of supplying it online???

      • They're more hopeless now than they were when I signed up a few years ago.

        Likewise, took forever to receive just the email.

        I rang them about the card and they said to wait a full 7 "business" days. After waiting that and more, I ring them again where I'm told the card hasn't even been made yet! She said it would take another 5-7 business days! But if they send it to my local bank it might only take 3-5 business days, so I choose that option since I have to go into a branch regardless!

        I finally received the SMS confirming the card has arrived today and picked it up from the bank. The main advantage was that the bank teller went through the app setup with me on my phone to make sure it works after logging out, without me even asking.

        The only upsell was the 2.85% savings account but maybe since they were busy and I was at the teller rather than the desk it was painless.

  • Has anyone received their bonus?

    • it says you get the bonus after 45/55 days, so i'm not expecting it until then

  • I got mine! 👍

    • i also got paid yesterday
