Not the most helpful bank

So, I was quiet happy with my bank until now. I am one of those people who don't want credit cards, for past bad experience..... yet sometimes I would need a small cash injection. In the last 2yrs, I required the services of Cash Converters for a small cash loan and it was very convenient at the time, we had no problems with the process of accessing my account to view statements online. Just 2 weeks ago, as it happens I needed some money urgently, so I went to Cashies. When I've put my account details into their PC I got denied access. Turned out that Comm. First don't give third party authorisation for accounts to identify people's bank details. Well, this has never been an issue before. I just don't get it.... at my bank the smallest loan is $2000, which I don't need, all I wanted is $500, or they offer a credit card which I definitely don't want. Why are they so difficult nowadays?? The only thing they achieved is, that I will close my account, and go to another bank, who's not forcing me to choose from a bad option to worse. No thanks....

Community First looked after customers first.

We have been with Community First since it opened at Bankstown in the late 80s and they have always been truthful and reliable.

Dreadful

Fees are not competitive, terrible customer service. Utterly unsuitable for business banking.
