Standard Bank is crazy!!!

2009-02-07 AUTOBANK CASH WITHDRAWAL AT MORELETA PK 1 15H11 R 500.00-
2009-02-07 SERVICE FEE ## R 7.65-

At some stage Standard Bank decided to make their ATM fees "flexible" on savings accounts. They must be suffering from some kind of mental retardation.

I needed to draw some cash (which I rarely have to do), I should just have used my Capitec card and paid the fixed R6.50 and saved R1.15 for drawing a measly R500 at the ATM...

Hey dude, any update on those questions on Capitect I had?
Still interested, but I think I should rather go to FNB.

That is crazy. From their own ATMs? Competition Commision is doing what exactly?

No airtime. Well, thats the only question I can recall. I'm drafting a letter about how they can improve their website...

What was the other question? Well, anything but ABSA and SB might be good...

I paid almost R6.00 to draw only R250 the other day! I really hope the compitition commission rip the banks to pieces with that report that was leaked! The banks should really be forced to lower their fees!

Yeah, they've changed it from a flat fee to a base fee plus a percentage of the amount you're drawing. Makes the fees a lot higher.

Geez like, thats crazy. Scares me to even think how much it would be if you used another banks ATM...

I don't think it's actually that much more - the base fee is higher, but the % portion is still the same, I think.

Okay, looked it up: for plusplan/puresave/Marketlink accounts, it's R3.90 + 1.03% to draw from SB's ATMs. For any other bank's ATMs, it the R3.90 + 1.03% + R6.70.

Yoh!!!

I think I will just use my capitec card on the SB ATMs now and hope capitec don't raise their prices insanely...

So lets say I draw R1000 from a Nedbank ATM coz I need the cash ASAP and there's no Std Bank atm it would = R20.90!!!

The service fees at any bank is crazy.

In December, we had to draw R20 000 in cash from one of our company's accounts (don't ask!) and the banking costs on the transaction was R 210.

Under the mattress in fresh notes, the safest way and makes for a comfortable sleep!

These banks just have licenses to print money and fusk the man on the street.
