I cancelled my account with the big old green dragon today.
Enough is enough.
I’m bloody sick and tired of being screwed by banks.
I switched to St George more then twenty years ago when I was tired of being screwed around by Westpac.
The dragon used to be great, it was a building society back in those days. Good home loans, branches that opened on Saturdays, friendly staff, good internet banking, lots of auto tellers, and they didn’t charge us for using other peoples ATMs. All gone now, and charges that are levied on pretty much any transaction that one has processed. They’ll even charge us for not having enough money in a saving account.
It was a bit weird commiserating with the teller. I think she remembered the old days too. I didn’t get a bank cheque to transport the funds that I was removing. That carried a ten dollar charge, which the bank also levies on its employees the teller informed me.
Pretty ironic that St George’s previous CEO has left to work at Big Red (lol.)
Thankfully there are still plenty of options for banking these days.
This is the first day of our summer, and I’ve started a group to celebrate.
