what type of bank account should I get? (1 Viewer)

[Just.waiting]

Commonwealth Bank is great if you're a student. No fees, you can use atms for free. The only costs are eftpos, using the atms of other banks (usually I don't find this a problem because there are so band commbank atms) and if you overdraw your account. Internet banking is also free.

You need to open 2 accounts:
*An everyday savings account with keycard access for spending and for your employer to deposit into. I recommend the Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver (since there are ATMs everywhere so you will never be charged fees for withdrawals. There are 0 fees at all while you're a student, but you won't earn any interest on accounts like this.
*A high interest internet savings account such as ING Savings Maximiser with an interest rate of 6%+pa - again, no fees, and you can easily transfer money between it and your other account over the internet within 1 day

Agree on the two accounts idea. I have a Commonwealth Bank Streamline e-access account, has no fees while you are a student and free netbanking.
I also have a Commonwealth Netbank Saver account, this is online based and has a fantastic interest rate if you make no withdrawals in a month.

Go with Commonwealth Bank for normal banking (they have one of the better online services) and ing for your savings (if you have any).

I've just swapped to a Commonwealth Steamline account with Netbank as well - no fees for students =D.

My sister just swapped to NAB, pays no fees as she's a student and also got a Visa Debit card.

You're an idiot if you're with one of the major banks- commonwealth, westpac, st.george etc...

They're really shit. They're not doing you any favours.
