Kiwibank now have Google/Apple pay, so you're out of excuses for banking with the Aussies.

@bpplee What American and Hong Kong institutions do you mean? ANZ, CBA, Westpac and NAB are all listed.

 

[bpplee]

@nickolasss Then being listed means nothing. The largest shareholder in Westpac was HSBC last time I checked

 

[nickolasss]

@bpplee That's called a custodian.

State Street, JP Morgan and HSBC will be on the share registry but are not the beneficial owner.

@wedinn asb does garmin pay though…

@wedinn From a 2022 banking survey: "BNZ, Kiwibank and ASB all rated close to the industry average of 60%. Kiwibank had the highest proportion of customers who experienced problems in the past 12 months."

@wedinn I added my card already, it was super easy

@wedinn I prefer to call them (b)wankers.

@wedinn I really don't care about supporting one multi million dollar corporation over the other

@wedinn I'm glad Kiwibank is finally catching up. I notice they say they're going to miss the deadline on open banking too. Have they confirmed they'll meet the deadline for Confirmation of Payee?

PS: Having used ASB share trading in the past, there's no advantage to banking with ASB while doing it. It's just as easy to bank with another bank. Also I believe there are many other good options available now, whereas ten years ago they were the only low-fee option.

@cbonetwobe There is no deadline for confirmation of payee fyi

@wedinn KiwiBank sucks. I desperately want to like it but sorry no. It sucks. In many ways.

 

[wedinn]

@johnbiggs Can you elaborate?

Most people seem to hide behind the opaque concept of better "service".

I've been with them since 2007, and have two competitively priced mortgages and zero complaints.

I genuinely don't understand the obsession.

 

[johnbiggs]

@wedinn The fact that they only just got Apple Pay recently is a great example of how behind they are.
