In fact the Big 4 are Westpac, National, Commonwealth and ANZ. Bankwest got taken over by Commonwealth, so Bankwest cards can use Commonwealth ATM in the east side. Westpac took over St George and become the largest bank group in Australia at the moment, but their card and ATM can't be inter-use yet.
Personally recommend ANZ, Commonwealth and Bankwest. I dealed with these banks for years, can tell you National bank and Westpac somehow doesn't know what they are doing...HSBC汇丰 fees is very high unless you got a large deposit. Citibank here doesn't have a lot of branches...and you can't deposit at their branch, need to go National.
I personally use Commonwealth and I'm happy with it.
p.s. if you use the credit card/bank card from China to pay things here, both the bank in aust and the bank in China will charge you fees, in long term doesn't worth it. Anything happened (i.e. lost/stolen card, unauthorised withdrawal) will be very hard to trace, not recommended. |
