Banks - ANZ
We will be moving out to Melbourne in January and we are just about to sort out bank accounts and looking round ANZ appear to offer the best. $5 per month for unlimited transactions.
Has anyone got any feedback on ANZ, good or bad?
Thanks

Yeah they are good at taking my money, just like the rest of them. The $5 is prob one of the best deals, but there are some banks that offer free accounts if you have a certain minimum monthly balance ($500 or $1000 not to sure)

agree with you there, we joined recently and had numerous daft questions and they were excellent at getting back to us and made us feel like we werent being daft.

Re: Banks - ANZ
Does anyone know the URL for ANZ bank? I had looked at Commonwealth bank but am being put off it.
I am assuming that ANZ are widespread in WA as they are in other states?

I'm with them too, I'd say they're good.

If you want to apply before you arrive you'll need this link (really difficult to find on the website!)

Re: Banks - ANZ
Have been using the $5 ANZ account for nearly a year. No probs at all.
This is my third Australian bank account. Only lasted 4 weeks with "Conwealth" bunch of rip off merchants. HSBC were so inefficient we got sick of them after 6mths. Talking to a customer service person based in Malaysia who cant speak fluent english just got too much in the end!

They will create an account and you can deposit into it but it's not officially opened until we appear in person in Aus, within 6 weeks of arriving.
After they're happy with ID, they'll 'open' the account and we can then withdraw our cash.
I'll let you know if it works ...

Are you a new ANZ customer?
If any of the proposed signatories to the new account are not existing ANZ Australia customers, the account can only be opened if the signatories are able to personally come to Australia to be identified.
This facility is often used by international students and workers who wish to open an ANZ account prior to coming to Australia.
