All you folks doing business with the Aussie b(w)ankers should go ahead and switch local.
- "Service" Maybe my needs are more basic than most. I'm pretty much an online customer, without the need for F2F. I only do personal banking & have two mortgages with them split into 6 tranches.
- "Value" I feel like I get great value from KB and it seems like plenty of people feel the same about the Aussie banks. My only fee is on my credit card, which has a competitive rewards program attached. I wasn't charged a break free for early repayment of a 7% tranche of mortgage.
- "Difficulty getting a mortgage" Not my experience. I've dealt directly with them for both my mortgages (my rare F2F dealings) and have gotten good rates out of them. Got my mortgages at 34 & 40, if that matters.
- "I would NEVER" I feel like this one is some misplaced loyalty or an excuse for inertia.
I've been happy here since ~2007, pretty much my entire professional life.
- ASB share-trading is the only "edge" any of those b(w)ankers have left imo.
