dont you love it when the years just fly past lol
Happy Birthday
as for banks a credit union is good as fees are a bit lower than others,
and you should get a debit ard as you can use it as a credit card but you only use your own money

Aye.. Happy Birthday!
I'm with Commonwealth, wouldn't recommend them since they started charging me fees... If you're under 21 they're ok though..

Ok go to Suncorp and get a "VISA DEBIT CARD" and with the account type get "EVERYDAY OPTIONS"
http://suncorp.com.au/suncorp/banking/p ... tions.html
Pay only $5 a month, don't get charged for ANY!!! bank fees
this account rocks because it can be used as a credit card, but you can only withdraw money from your account when you have money in it
trust me get this account
Cheers jason

If you not getting a loan, then almost every bank and credit union are the same. They all have this $5 a month with unlimited transaction.
I had a very bad experience with St.George, the bank manager cancel an appointment at the last minute, which we already made a month in advance, worst he didn't even make an effort to see us when we told him we can see him anytime instead
And Happy B'day Mike
Now you are one step closer to become a grumpy old fart

Along with the de-regulatuion of the banking industry there are some really handy credit co-op's out there!
No fees, good interest!
I am however with Comm atm, and I have always been pretty happy with them.
