Wheelsy OSC Sydney said:Usual overdrawn fee is around $40 here (£16). To be charged that much is absolutely abhorrent.
I used the old "I'll change banks" thing before. The first time they refunded the amount.
The second time they didn't, and guess what? Moved to a credit union. Best financial move ever made.
I guess in Oz there's a bit more competition between the banks, isn't there? I couldn't believe it when I arrived, being made to pay a few dollars a month to pay for having a bog-standard account.
That said, the Commonwealth Bank did treat me very well when I was over there.
