Is this accoun still available to open?

Virgin has dropped from 5.35% to 5% (with lock) without even notifying...and many will be locked in for 32 days. How's that for "bad &…

My guess is that they will all eventually drop saving accounts by 0.25% as they are politically forced to drop mortgages by the full 0.25%.…

Not reallly. Karma is more a solace for those that get screwed to feel better about it...

How? They are all the same, so not much choice.

They were quick! Money out to StG? Althogh I guess they will soon drop their rates too!

They must have changed the rate between the time you applied for the new account and the time it was approved. I remember seeing their 6…

I think you may have private messages disallowed in your settings.

Can you dm me please? I cannot dm you.

@Ave Maria Did you end up doing the Osko transfer from StG Freedom acc to ING SM acc? Did it work with immediate transfer?

Wow. That's great!!! Where did you find out about the ING customer advocate? Did you also initiate a complaint with AFCA?

Bugger! Next thing will be all the savings account down 0.25%. Elections coming, the government's pressure on the RBA to reduce the rates…

I think it is a battle not worth the effort.

>February will be interesting, as if the RBA decides on an interest rate drop banks may start dropping rates immediately, so best to leave…

>If they delay an OSKO payment it is still sitting in ST George earning interest until they release the payment so no problem >The only…

$100k Osko from StGeorge to ING on a Saturday seems risky. If anything goes wrong you won't see the funds in ING before Monday evening or…

It's time people stop just complying with these completely unneccessary identification requirements. If everyone pushed back they will have…

AMP Cash Manager now showing 5%. Are you going to transfer funds on the 31st? I am thinking to just leave the funds in AMP Saver all the…

I received a similar email, but in mine they credited me about $14 compensation for the bonus interest I missed out on, for the day the…

You are right. Thank you finbar. That makes it much easier then. If during a month, at any stage, you need to withdraw money and/or cannot…

They all want to have as much info about you as they possibly can, even to hold YOUR money. Photo selfie included for good measure!!! Then…

I looked at the BankWest 5.35%, but the short 4 month honeymoon period makes it not worth to open an extra account (with all the associated…

The problem is where else to put the money with at least equal interest rate. Or leave the whole balance there and treat it as a 1 month…

I am nowhere near your $50k record, but for the few I have had, I already had activation problems (staff often don't know what to do),…

These cards are becoming too much of a hit and miss lottery. Delays and sometimes troubles getting the bonus points. Troubles with…

Spot on! Only problem is that the majority of people just comply, so the few that dare object are easily hammered.

>Other ppls ID is the Mad Max crypto currency of the personal data harvesters /collectors. If they could get away with it, blood,hair and…

Yeah, the transport department say that in their reconciliation the transaction didn't go through. The giftcard phone assistance say that…

I just managed to speak with them. It looks like the person at the transport department stuffed up. The first time I swiped the card the…

Thought it may be because outside business hours. Do you know if their phone lines are open till late?
