I placed a Us cheque in the great Southern Bank and got told it can take 4 to 6 weeks or 6 to 8 weeks depending. But there is nothing on my account showing it got deposited. Why is it going to take so long when most of the cheques I have received over there have been a cash at bank.

Why are you such an appalling bank? Disgusting, I actually can’t say service because there isn’t any! STAY AWAY from this institution, if you chose them then be very prepared for the worst experience of your life!

Why are you secured car loan interest rates so deceptive? Spoke to several consultants, went on calculator as advised only to be told even with an excellent credit rating this wasn’t good enough to obtain 5.49%? Other financial institution’s appear to be more transparent with their loans than GSB! Make your rates CLEAR for all to see instead of trying to deceive the general unaware public with these deceptive tactics.

Had a look at the loan descriptions. I agree with you that their description of the interest rate is dependent on your credit score. They are bound to offer what is described, otherwise it constitutes misleading and deceptive conduct. If you've suffered a financial loss as a result (ie. their credit check entry on your credit file) contact AFCA. Also claim compensation for inconvenience and stress.

Hi, we’re sorry to hear that you have not had a satisfactory experience with your loan application. A credit score is just one of several important factors that go in to offering a personal loan rate, and we would like to connect with you to discuss this and address your concerns. I'll send you a private message, and hope to be in touch as soon as possible. Thanks, the Great Southern Bank team.

If your team says go to your website calculator and that will tell you the rate you will receive and the rate is substantially higher than the calculator recommends is this bait advertising? Deceptive at best, honour the 5.49% that was shown to us via the calculator or make your tactics TRANSPARENT for all to see, stop the deceit. Maybe we need a lot more investigation into institutions like this to stop making the little peoples lives more difficult than they already are!

"A credit score is just one of several important factors that go in to offering a personal loan rate". Perhaps that needs to be disclosed on your website to fully inform potential customers.

Why are our local branches closing since you changed from cua . The credit union was useful for my needs for 40 years. Forcing older people to use new ways of banking is not fair. Going to the branch to do your banking is still needed. Personal contact once a fornightly is the only outing we get. Please stop closing the branches. We have lost 3 banks in the last couple of years where i live.

Why would a bank make it so hard for a pensioner to close an account. Then continue for months to continue to charge this pensioner. Many phone calls and still no result. Sorry yes a result if the negative fee is paid after the pensioner tried to close the account. You cannot be trusted.

They are a disgusting embarrassment for a financial institution, they don’t give a damn and believe me we have had a lot experience with their arrogance! Get away from them as soon as you can!

What happens to ID documents submitted for a SMSF term deposit application but did not proceed due to extreme difficulties. I was a new customer and did not have an account. Extremely concerned about identify theft and personal security ?

I can promise you that staying away from GSB is one of the best decisions you can make. We have been with them for a while and our personal experience has been somewhat of a nightmare …. arrogance, misinformation and rudeness right up to today when we tried to speak to several consultants only to be met with arrogance with the last female consultant deciding to just hang up in my ear rather than assist with our problem! GSB ‘Garbage Service Beware’

I need to correct the below question

Why is your home loan discharge fee still $500, when Westpac, Commonwealth Bank, NAB is $350, AMP is $350, and ANZ $160. Maybe a question for the ACCC as they state it shouldn't cost any more than the actual cost to the bank

Because GSB are greedy. Their interest rate is not competitive too. It’s much easier to go elsewhere

When doing online banking, can you please let me know if you offer a token or 2-factor authentication.

shopperjill
shopperjill  

2-factor authentication is important these days for our privacy and peace of mind for our hard earned money. We live in an age where when we do get a chance to attend to our own personal affairs, it is often out of the luxury of business hours. If you have nothing to hide, then this information should be either freely on the site or posted here for everyone to know. Some other banks advertise this service on their site so I know my money will be safe with them.

They don't have multi-factor authentication for their online banking login at the moment but I do hope that they consider it, preferably as an independent solution rather than requiring an app developed by them. We don't need more third-party TOTP apps.

Hi there, whilst we do not currently have 2-factor on login we do offer this in other ways when making transactions that provide the same security as a 2-factor on login does.

Unusual Sandgroper

Security measures for transactions are not the same as security measures for accessing a customer banking portal. It is misleading to claim that they provide the same security when they are not related.
