Bank smarter and avoid fees

Bank fees are right up there with stubbed toes and frostbite as most people’s least favourite things. Luckily, you can minimise their effect and keep more money in your pocket.

Get the right account

None of us like fees, but have you ever considered that you could be paying fewer of them just by making sure you’re using the account best suited to your needs?

When it comes to fees, there’s bank accounts, and then there’s bank accounts.

1. Want simple banking, with no transaction fees?

If you just want a simple account for your everyday banking, something straight off the rack like our Access Account could be just the ticket. Enjoy no eftpos fees, and no everyday transaction fees, with the option to use your card or cash.

2. Retired? Looking for something in the middle?

Our Retirement Plus Account strikes the right balance between an everyday account and a savings account.

Consider any loans

Taking the time to re-examine your current home loan for the amount of fees you pay could save you money in the long term. Paying redraw fees to re-borrow extra repayments or monthly fees, only adds to the time it will take you to repay your loan off sooner. But a lot of the time we hear from customers who feel that even though they’re unhappy with their current deal, it would be more of a hassle to switch their loan to someone else.

Handy tips

1. Cash Out

eftpos is a great alternative when withdrawing cash - when you make an eftpos purchase, say Yes to extra cash out. This withdrawal will count as one transaction, rather than two!

2. Press Credit

Press 'Credit' when using your Greater Bank Visa Debit Card for a purchase transaction on an eftpos terminal. There are no transaction fees on purchases made using the contactless feature of your debit card.

3. Plan ahead

Plan your transactions each week to reduce the frequency of your withdrawals, and instead of asking for a balance check at an ATM, simply request a receipt as part of your transaction.
