      Adelaide Bank are terrible - They have high usage fees, even when I do the majority of my transactions online, charge monthly fee's and charge $40 dishonor fees when other banks have removed all such fees. I am about to leave them after being a loyal customer for over 30 years since they were the Co-op because they refuse to listen to the customers and insist on bleeding money out of me instead of showing some loyalty in return

      I think that if it is a working or savings account that there should not be a limit on transactions. With Adelaide Bank, after 5 transactions they start to charge you. Keeping in mind that if you have any direct debits, they are counted as a transaction. That sucks in my eyes, money for nothing.

      I like the bank product. I have found that they have a great customer service section and are very helpful. As their only branch is in Adelaide ( and I am in Sydney) there has never been an issue to depositing funds either by posting them the cheque or depositing at the local Post Office. I have been with the bank for 12 years.
