Do you include Westpac in that? They've been fine with us and no fees and discounted mortgage (but we are VERY good customers)

Westpac is Big4. I left because of fees. Every product I look at the Big 4 are expensive and/or restrictive.

I am very happy with Comm Bank. I don't pay any fees on my account because they waive it whenever there's at least $2,000 total credit each calendar month. They have ATMs everywhere and their customer service is quite good.
