If you want complete freedom with your everyday banking such as unlimited branch access, unlimited transactions and ATM withdrawals, then the St.George Complete Freedom account could be for you. Plus for a limited time, new customers will be able to take advantage of a $40 cashback offer.
The Complete Freedom bank account has unlimited free withdrawals from any St.George, Westpac or BankSA ATM and unlimited transactions with St.George telephone and internet bank services. Plus, it also includes unlimited free over the counter transactions from any St.George branch.
You can get the $5 monthly account fee waived but you'll need to deposit a minimum $2,000 a month or have a home loan with St.George. There is a Visa debit card option with the account (upon request) but the standard account only comes with a EFTPOS / ATM card.
If you need to access your money overseas you'll get charged $5 for overseas ATM withdrawals and 3% foreign exchange commission on any purchases made through the Visa Debit Card.
Finally, there's currently a $40 cashback deal on offer for new customers. To snag the cashback you will have to be a new customer and open Complete Freedom account before 30 September 2021 either online or in a selected branch and deposit at least $500 within 30 days.
Anyone who already has a home loan with St.George or for anyone who needs regular branch access for their everyday banking.
If you need to set up regular payments from your account do it yourself via internet banking. St.George charge a $4 monthly periodic payment fee for each payment that they set up on your behalf.

This is just the worst bank. All around terrible service. Do not choose this bank, you will regret it.

Incompetent personal and waste of time as a result... Tried to open account online via website few times and because of many errors on the web-page had to call support. With help of support I was told that I registered an account have 2 options for my identity verification (first one is to visit office which was not the best for me during pandemic time and the second one - they will send to my address some docs for verification). I preferred not to visit office and started waiting for docs. Almost 2 weeks - no docs and no response. Visited office at Haymarket and spent half an hour there proving that I don't need a license for financial instruments trading if I am a sole trader and using my own money only. Finally account was established. On the next day I transferred some money to the account just for testing reason and was not able to send it back. Call to support and wasting of time again. They started claiming that I have to have a certificate for my business if I have ABN. I've got a confirmation only when I registered for Sole trader and all the information about ABN is available online. So I decided not to waste my time on this and asked to close my account and guess what??? I have to visit the office... again...

Just had the worst customer service experience of my life trying to get support from St George after their fraud department incorrectly suspended my account. They wouldn't do anything about it even though they had me on the phone and insisted I visit a branch. Since it's the weekend this means I have absolutely no money for the weekend. Not only were they completely unhelpful but they were also rude. I am now busy opening an account with another bank so that I can close my St George account on Monday.
