  • Great Southern Bank Goal Saver

    Great Southern Bank makes banking easy.

    This financial corporation makes banking easy, with good security measures in place, and friendly, helpful staff. I have been a customer since GSB, was known as CUA. (Credit Union Australia).

  • Great Southern Bank Savings Account

    Excellent!

    I am so happy with the Great Southern Bank in Australia. They have been very helpful and friendly every time I contacted them. They offer great products and services at competitive rates. They also have a lot of branches and ATMs across the country, which makes banking very convenient. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy bank.

  • Great Southern Bank Advantage Saver

    Name says it all

    I’ve been a member for over 30yrs and they’re safe, data protective and proactive, good rates and a flawless online banking experience. The only criticism is that the branches are too far away. That’s all though.

  • Great Southern Bank Savings Account

    The worst of the worst

    This bank are the most deceptive shonky untrustworthy borderline scam artists in Australia. You will regret joining this bank and pull all your money out one day as quickly as you possibly can. They should be called Great Australian Deceivers. Reviews everywhere else are all appalling this site must be full of shills. DO NOT TRUST anything this bank say or advertise it will turn out to have a hidden too bad so sad clause.

  • Great Southern Bank Savings Account

    Poor servicd

    Agree with Paul & others, they stop you transferring money to other accounts. Staff lack training in basic knowledge e.g. you can transfer money within the bank and it does not affect your $5k external transfers, however, multiply staff will tell you that it does. They took 2 months to get back to me (sorry I asked again), re TFN questions on my boys accounts (oh and twins could open 1 account on line but not the other because they are born on same day!). Also couldn’t answer my question re money limits. I’m finally leaving this bank because the Advantage Saver says that you can do withdrawals without losing your interest…that is not correct. The staff need more training and when your raise an issue with them they want to fight you, not listen or apologise. When they argue with you they are also lacking in knowledge.

  • Great Southern Bank Savings Account

    My banking institution for over 40 years.

    I have been a customer of Great Southern Bank for over 40 years (then known as Credit Union Australia). Have taken out several loans over many years to consolidate credit card debts and for travel purposes. CUA also assisted me to make progress payments when I built my house. Every encounter with Great Southern Bank (CUA) has been professional and efficient. Staff are also very helpful and friendly. Great Southern Bank also has stringent rules in place for their customers, to mitigate possible fraud situations.

  • Great Southern Bank Savings Account

    Worst Bank In History

    I've had the worst customer experience with this bank. They sucked me in on high paying savings accounts, but the customer service, hold waiting times and made-up rules and policies are just awful! They treat their customers like absolute garbage, customer service reps tell you consistently the wrong information and are rude. A fast payment PayID system that doesn't work, blocks payments because their system thinks its fraud, and then unable to make any further payments because the "daily limit" has been hit even though no money has actually left the accounts. Trying to get all my money out of this bank now, close the accounts and never look back. But they need to "approve" me taking my own money out of my account by having to request limit payments to get my money out. Told the limit will be valid for 24 hours, but it reset at midnight. How is a customer supposed to navigate this bank when their own staff don't know how anything works. Beyond bad! Be warned and stay away!!!!

  • Great Southern Bank Advantage Saver

    Once caught, never again

    Beware of the withdrawal feature, make as many as you wish per month, as stated BUT if the withdrawal total isn't repaid, along with the mandatory $250, you've lost the bonus interest for that month.

    Can't complete full process online

    Unfortunately couldn't get past the first stage of verification and needed to print off forms and visit the local post office to have identity verified.

    Can’t beat Great Southern Bank

    I’ve banked with Great Southern Bank since it was CUA and I’ve been with them for over 30yrs. I do most of my banking online with their app. It’s easy and safe and so useful. The only complaint I have is they took away our local branch and now I have to travel further to go into the physical bank itself. So I don’t bother. I deposit money at the Post Office and do everything else online. It’s great!
