I check once every second day on my credit and cheque accounts, you'd be suprised how often you're double charged, or charged a whack of interest or some such for something that didn't happen.

Actually - even my car loans interest one month was higher than others, even though the rate was unchanged - queried it, it was a 'calculation' mistake. I'd love to know how much they make on things that remain unqueried. I have yet to see something in my favour though.

Sorry if it came accross as blunt and rude.

I pay everyone and everything, and that is it. I don't need to see how much i owe who and and and. I still fail to see why one would need access to that account.

I also pay more on my car installment every month. I know it will be paid off in June next year. So I will pjhone at around Feb to find out if I still owe and how much. If I over paid, they will refund me :D

You have a lot of faith in the bank. I do not. So I make a point of checking that automatic payment orders go through on their due dates. It has happened to me that payment orders went through twice by mistake.

Also, because we own a business, as part of debt collection I would have to check whether clients paid on time.

I also pay additional amounts into credit cards, etc. from time to time.

Lots of business related reasons for me to use internet banking.

I understand that fully. But why the VF account ? That is what is making me think" wtf :confused:" :o

I think I understand to a degree the reasoning behind it, but is it really necesary to break the poor bank's balls because of it ?

Pitbull: It's called consumer rights. Are you one of those people who could get a fly in their soup and simply keep quiet and finish the meal?

Waiter, there is a fly in my soup ?
Don't worry sir that spider on your bread will soon get him !

Waiter, what's this fly doing in my soup?
Um, looks to me to be backstroke, sir...

Waiter, there is a mosquito in my soup !
Don't worry sir, they don't eat much !

Waiter, there is a dead fly swimming in my soup !
Don't be silly, dead flies can't swim ! :D

Again, if you calculate how much money they siphon off you via banking costs, do you not think you and I deserve SUPERIOR service?

I do!
 
Not read the whole thread.

I bank with FNB. I can see all accounts, vehicle and home-loan (even my Discovery credit card) on my profile.

I actually changed from ABSA to FNB. I had left several messages for the business bankers at ABSA to call and they never did. The first time ABSA called me was to ask why FNB was requesting all my accounts be transferred to them.

They are pathetic when they ignore your requsts and then, when you close your accounts, they jump and say: 'what's up'?
 
Regarding the comment about limits on cards: I've found the secure messaging on the online banking site works very nicely for shifting limits up/down without paper-work/branch visits.:) Thats for SB...but I'm sure the others have something similar.

With Absa you need to go into the bank with your ID to change your limits, which really sucks cause I can only go during lunch and then it's packed.
Only reason I am still with them is because they're still charging me student rates, even tho I finished studying 4 years ago. They sent a letter twice saying that I would be automatically upgraded but it never happened.
 
Other worse devils be! :mad:

I have my own horror story where I am currently locked out from my account, with Nedbank holding the keys. I have documented this whole lead-up and analyzed it to death. The more I think about it, the more p*ssed off I am:

What is the best, a cash trunk box under the bed and debt at the bank?!
