Rate & Review

Westpac have never let me down. They are always friendly, helpful and reconcile any problems I have quickly. Telephone banking and internet banking are faultless and they let you know if there are any scammers making phone calls or emails. High interest isn't what it used to be but no banks give you great rates on $1000.00 plus these days. I'm a happy customer.

I think Bendigo Bank's rates could be better considering what home loans are at the moment

I love banking with Bendigo. The online services are convenient, the service is fantastic, and the company is invested in local communities.

Excellent customer service and low account fee's. I have been a Commonwealth Bank customer for over 15 years and will always be a Commonwealth Bank customer as I personally rate them better than the rest.

NRMA have always been a great home insurance company. My mother is with them, my older sisters is with them so it was only natural I went with them as well when I bought my first house. The application process was easy, they guided me the whole way and made me aware of all the fee's and what it is exactly that I was getting. The process didn't take long at all, I expected it to be way longer and if I had any questions not only did they answer them but they did thoroughly. I ended up getting contents insurance as well and I am lucky that I did because later that year we had a robbery and also a flood the year later. They were very sympathetic when I called them and helped me out unconditionally so I could get everything replaced as soon as possible. In conclusion to say I am very happy with NRMA would be an understatement. I know I wouldn't be able to do it without them.

When my car was totalled everything was taken care of quickly and efficiently and with compassion. It was a relief to hear .... we'll take care of everything you rest up and get better. And take care of everything they did. Pay out was in my bank within the week, a heartfelt letter followed with a small car care package for my next car. Great experience.

I've never experienced the care and effort put in by the staff who helped me with my loan. Recently called the hotline regarding a question and the woman who served me was above and beyond helpful and suggested ways to reduce my expenses! Recently went into the local branch and the technology for deposits of cash and coins far exceeds other banks. No more standing in line waiting for easy to do tasks!

After being a customer of 5 energy providers in 25 years, I found Dodo. I save reasonable amount of money by changing over to Dodo. With Dodo, you pay every month an amount previously agreed upon. This amount is calculated from your past bills. When the meter is read you get your invoice. Cons:- It takes a little time and effort to understand and to get used to the system

Origin are brilliant. I like Origin as they provide an environmentally friendly service to the community. Customer services is great. People are readily available to assist when in need of clarification eg: billing or service delivery. Fees may be a bit high, but the comfort of having backup service when required is worth it all.

The initial setup process took only a few minutes to complete, however waiting for approval took several weeks (had applied for the loan online) and after about 2 months I decided to go into my local branch to finalise the loan which didn't take long at all (probably about half an hour). At the time they did offer a competitive fixed interest rate for an unsecured loan which was great but it really did take far longer than expected to draw up the loan. When I lost my job and was going through a hard time financially, the staff at NAB Care were understanding about my situation and allowed me to take a repayment holiday for 3 months which really helped me out.

St George was our bank of choice for our accounts in particular our term investment now called incentive saver. All accounts with the exception of the incentive saver were in both names. The incentive saver account was taken out when I was ill with breast cancer and long term reconstruction. This account was in my husbands name. When my husband passed away 4 months ago St George froze that account. They wanted me to go through probate. My husband and myself were inseparable and were married 51 years. I was his carer and the only beneficiary of his will. What I had to go through to have that money put in my name was intolerable emotionally and physically. I had to contact my solicitor and do a paper trail to show that this money also belonged to me. Thankfully my solicitor was very helpful and provided what I needed. It was not an easy road grieving the loss of my beautiful husband and having to fight to get my own money. I was told many things that were not true like its the law, any amount over 75 thousand in one name has to go through probate, this was later changed to 50 thousand. I was also told there had to be dire circumstances for them to waive probate. I asked what he sees dire circumstances were, however not one person could tell me. No wonder. Was confused and upset. I decided to fight, it was the fight or flight syndrome. I eventually won the battle but not without a personal tell. My husband would have been appalled.

I was able, after getting a quote from another company, to have them match the quote and add an international sim to the deal. The price for the insurance was very good and not needlessly expensive, with all the basics covered. The only problem came when trying to claim. I was travelling in a country that did not have the best internet access or wifi and attempting to contact the agency about various issues that arose was not worth the effort that had to be taken and the hoops that you had to jump through for what should have been a very simple problem to fix. Also, forged money is not considered a problem and therefore is not part of the policy.

Set up a secured car loan with People's Choice as they had the most competitive price. Excellent customer service in store and had my account set up in no time, they also went out of their way to chase up some extra financial loose ends. Very thorough service.
