Good
This is a free account for pensioners, with a set amount of free transactions. Commonwealth has the most amount of branches and ATMs, which makes them the most accessable in Australia.
This account is free for pensioners and over 55s. You have the option of keycard access or a passbook if you prefer older style banking, making visiting the branch a must. Accounts can be accessed by phone banking and the internet. Overall it is a comparable product to all the banks
There are only a small amount of free transaction, and if you write cheques and its in excess of your free limit, it costs $1 for each cheque.

When I try opening one of these account on-line I am told that I am not eligible for this product.
I am an Australian resident, 79 years of age and receive the age pension.
I have tried asking CBA help desk about this but they were useless.
Does anyone know why i'm seen as not eligible?
Can I have direct debits withdrawn fortnightly from the PSA?
Yes, you can, I have done fortnightly this with my electricity bill when I had the Pensioner Security Account.
