Which Bank? (2 Viewers)

[iambored]

Easy as - i got a bonus $15 from them for signing up.
Yeah, as said, just head over to their website - fill in online application, with your current bank details, the principal amount you want to deposit with ING, any automatic deposits from towards your ING account, and then mail them a recent bank-statment+signature

cool, i think you guys have talked me into the ING and i saw the ads saying there is a free $15 for signing up so if i want the account i better decide soon

[twisted_sista00]

how is it cheap?

its cheap cos newy permanent doesnt charge any account keeping fees, even if ur not a student. but its only really useful for people in the newcastle area.

Ooh, I see. Thanks!

however, when it comes to getting money out from an ATM, you might incur what you'd pay for account costs and more since there's not many Newcastle Permanent ATMs around... I have a mate who's with the St George bank and paid $40 in non-ATM fees for a month. That's why I reckon the CBA is one to at least consider, even if their account keeping fees are high.

You only get a certain number of free transactions a month with a St George student account, too (unless you have over $5k in the account... Shifty bastards given that most students tend to be living on the edge).

CommBank All The Way,

Hey just thought i'll voice my state and opinion.

Commonwealth Bank:

- Has waived my fees for 4 years, as i told them i was a student and showed them that my course was 4 years.

- Offered me a 5.25 % interest account (compounded daily) and 24 hours access to banked money in that account, as imoney can be transferred immediately (no penalty) to my normal accounts.

- In regards to non-bank ATM machines charging (usually $1.50), this has been the deal for quite a while, however they are putting these fees under review as banks are pulling in millions from this.

haha .. i gotta special invitation ..

5.25% interest compounded annually, the account type listed is NBankSaver.

i used to have an ING Account: but because they took so long to move the money, and since Comm Bank offered me the invitation i just swapped over.

 

[theone123]

how do u get a invite?

 

[hys]

yes a student card is enough, but i think you gotta show them every year.

unless you prove that you will be a student for x amounts of year, and they put it on your profile ..




the invitations i believe was sent out earlier part of the year. i had no idea why i received it nor how the selection system works.

But they did say they have sent it out to a limited number of people.
