It drives me nuts that for me to process a payment over the internet and then they charge me for doing it. As for the credit cards - Westpac just sent us another Hotpoints card with American Express but it singularly fails to work buying on the internet. Grr. Good luck with the kiwi bank thing. I got a Globalplus visa card to collect ANZ points but it seems that you need to spend a zillion $ with them to get any points. It's hopeless. I preferred the cash back system there was in the UK!

ASB also used to waive all their fees - but thye have got quite draconian in the past two years - hence why I want to remove some business from them. I think they should not get complacent :) Okay – score one for Kiwibank :) Its nice to here some good news.

Anytime they want to charge me for a service (like a mortgage) and they mention what the charge is, I tell them I really don't want to pay a fee, thank you very much. Ok then, we'll waive the fee no problem. Oh and we'll give you a $1000 towards your lawyers fees too. Ha! I'm also impressed with the way they dealt with a complaint I had when dealing with their customer service over a possible security breach. They were efficient and courteous with their response and sorted the matter out in consultation with me. Deborah I Lurve KiwiBank!
