Bendigo Bank Credit Card
Overall 10/10
Excellent service

I signed up to this bank a couple of years ago and there customer service has been excellent. My credit card was recently hacked and charges put on by an unknown source. They notified me immediately and I was able to order a new card and the bank were able to get the charges reversed, for which I am immensely grateful.

Bendigo bank is big on community spirit and banking local. Most are run by a board of local towns people. Once a year community groups can apply for funding, which the board allocate what funds to which group. Most of the board or their wives or husbands or children are in these “groups” so funding gets allocated to who they choose. It’s very biased and unfair. The fees and charges on all accounts are ridiculous the highest of any bank. I personally would never bank with Bendigo bank again. Once my credit card is paid out that is the last account I have with them to close. I liked the idea of support your local community ect but once I found out how it works, I’m appalled at the behaviour.

Bendigo Bank Bright Credit Card
Overall 1/10
Pathetic attitude towards long term customers

In 2014 they allowed $9,000.00 to be debited from my credit card into an online banking account in less than 3 weeks. When I queried where their duty of care was to notify me of these transactions, they said as I had used the account for that purpose in the past - even though it was no more than $200 in a month, they felt no need to advise me of the activity on my account. That happened in Melbourne. This year (2022), they repeatedly put signs on their window saying they were closed for 28days, or temporarily closed but no clue what "temporarily" entailed. In September they permanently closed that heabch

Customer service sucks

Trying to contact over the phone spent over two hours on hold. Cannot access online banking without a customer reference number which you need to call for. Should have on an online system where you can retrieve details

Bendigo Bank Bright Credit Card
Overall 7/10
A low-rate card with great features and service

This card was a fantastic option for credit without interest for 18 months. We used it to get our business going and had plenty of time to pay off the card once the interest started ticking over. When I called to have the credit limit reduced, the friendly staff initially told me I would have to visit a branch, but then helpfully changed my limit over the phone. I am very happy with this bank and card that I would recommend it to others without hesitation.
