The nab really sucks the big one on fees, do the wise thing and leave it and joing a credit union.

I had no joy with the nab on fees and eventually did the turn … best thing i ever did as far as banking goes

Which at $17.06 would be worth around $34,000. There's no need to take inflation into account because the prices are relative. RE: Westfield.

A week! That's quite a pad you've got there. Even if it's not yours it still says you are loaded ... unless you are living in Tamarama.<br />For the record the Commonwealth bank has been quite good at giving me back the money they stole from me.

Considering that inflation was over 10% for much of this period, I find the result quite plausible. What do you think the correct answer is, O wise prognosticators of Crikey? Re: Westfield

Will you just sit there and whine about how the nasty mob at NAB steal money from your account or will you move your account to a credit union? Well? What will it be? Bank fees.

I had an old account that I had essentially stopped using. Bank fees kept coming out, not much, $3 a month or so, but after a while it got to $0. So, then the fee was taken out, plus $35 overwithdrawal fee. This fee created a dishonour fee.... until it was over $350 in the red. Then they had the hide to call me and request immediate payment. I declined. RE BANKS
