100% correct and this is proof that the system is failing. The government and the Police do not have their own value of existence. They exist but do not have the value of their existence.
About to be an ex customer. Yesterday afternoon, I needed to ring the CBA. I was on hold for 50 minutes, absolutely disgraceful. I ask the question where was everybody, picking up the kids from school, doing the shopping???
Comm Bank account holder too. This will certainly cause me to look to shift to another bank. Charging me to draw my own money is disgusting, given what the bank obviously makes off having my money in their coffers while I'm not using it. Simply obscene.
@@KiwiSeoul I get that.. but they want it sooner than later.. find a new bank or tell as many people as you can go pull their money on pay day and let THEM REMAIN CASHLESS.
I have adopted cash for life with exception of online shopping for obvious reasons. So far in the big NSW suburbs I have not encountered problems to cash out $1-2k and use that money instead of card, I only have their debit card btw. It sounds like CBA will start "crashing" atm to force people to pay $3, I will show myself out. Banks cannot track you once you took the money out, they will do everything they can to lock you in.
Withdrawal fees on cash, merchant surcharges on debit and credit card transactions. Either way, the customers lose and the banking fat cats get fatter. In the cost of living crisis we Australians are enduring, it just got worse. The banks are shameful.
This is so unacceptable. We’re forced to use banks to receive our income, so why should we have to pay to access our own money? And we already pay account fees!
@MysticCoder, unfortunately, they did that in Iceland, and it didn't go quite well. The really think the bankers will regulate themselves. Even they say it themselves. We can not help our selfs. Maybe because your in Australia you didn't get the full smack of the GFC in 2008 . Need to have it regulated but not by a corrupt government system
How we forget the government gave Combank a massive bailout meaning we paid to bail out a bankrupt banking system. This is a private company from a private sector so I also think it's time they pay us back the bailout money with interest. This is what you get when you put your hand in the cookie jar too many times Combank! You are legalised loansharks! Time for you to be put in your place.
People are letting them do it cause everybody is happy to just wave a card and I’m looking forward to the day they realise going cashless means you can’t do anything the government won’t know about and charge you for.
They have recently closed a branch at Winston hills that has devastated a lot of elderly who there nursing homes would take them there to do there banking that’s it for me I’m switching banks there greed is a disgrace
These banks should not be allowed to introduce new fees to existing account terms and conditions, it should only be for new customers who apply for these new accounts, where is the government oversight?
Moved my mortgage out of comm bank after they wouldn't help, got a way better rate elsewhere, now most likely move to a credit union and close my acc after 38yrs with them
I reckon my time is worth $50 an hour and most people have their own value per hour. So how about we charge banks for waiting in queues waiting to be served and send THEM invoices to cover our time spent. Let's see, $50 and hour works out around 83 cents a minute. I've waited up to 10 minutes in some Commbank branches so that's an invoice fee I should be charging the bank of $8.30. If I pay their $3 charge I'll be $5.30 ahead!!!!!!!
Left them for ING years ago as they actually take your money when you don't touch it or spend it (with their dumb monthly fees), kudos to the honest teller at the Combank branch that told me it was best to leave for better rates and be away from anti-consumer shenanigans. These days I only withdraw lots of $200 at a time to wave away any withdrawal cost from ATM and have great millage that way, I also make money with INGs monthly rebates by continually saving, don't know why that wasn't the model ComB championed like WTH. Cash is always King everyone and if you are smart you'd have an ample amount stashed outside of any bank.
Time to wake up Australia stop allowing these thieves to take your hard earned money educate yourself time to push back and shop around for better deals we are there CUSTOMERS !!… you don’t have to put up with this go to every bank in your town and find a better deal
And now they are going to charge us to take our cash out. It's time to change banks for sure, watch that share price drop to a 10 year low We are moving banks
They should change their name to the con and wealth bank. The solution is to close your account and get a safe or find another bank that has integrity and looks after their customers money which should gain interest, not be taxed, that is a criminal act within itself. When Cyclone Jasper came through last year, we could only use cash because everything else was down and cash is king. If I go into a store and they try not to take cash, I will just leave the money on the counter and tell them it's legal tender and then walk out.
@ really? They can kick my door in and take my piggy bank any time they like? Pretty sure theres a law against that somewhere. But more to the point, i was referring to the fact that you can take your money out of the commonwealth and stick in the westpac, anz, or a credit union. If all the Commonwealth bank customers voiced their objection by taking their business elsewhere then the CB might decide it was a bad idea. if all the other banks, that just got a heap of new customers, saw the CB struggling, then maybe they will refrain from making similar decisions.
Lol I did the same thing when they closed Bankwest. And they had to organise a money delivery just to pay me back. Cause Bankwest has gone cashless now with no branches.
The banks used to be part of a service industry. Who on earth in their hierarchy thought that a $3 fee to get your own money would be a good idea? Without customers they have nothing, shareholders won’t be happy then. Sent my son in NZ some money for Christmas, the exchange rate $550NZ was $500🇦🇺 did the tfr their rate was $520🇦🇺debited. CBA made $20 in one transaction, they get you coming and going.
I was with Commonwealth since 1st grade with my dollarmite account and its free fees until it started to get charged ridiculous fees all the time, so i closed it down... Now i bank with NAB
Rural areas told to use the post office! It costs more to do this as Aus post charge $4.50 to deposit or withdrawal! Again forced to pay, ing offer a fee free at all atms etc account! Move on folks I have! Not financial advice but shop around and move your finances from the thieves.
The Cabal. The rich Elite. The whole western banking system all around the world is the same. That's why countries are "Bricking". They are all going back to their own financial system, using only their own currency, eg, Russia and the Ruble.
Branch closures. Services to digital. Want cash to go to the market, now it will cost you another $3. Well times up for this punter. Im gone. Not interested for your rubbish excuses. $ 9.8 Billion in profits. Whatever happened to customer service & trust. How is my disabled son going to navigate these sorts of thefts from his pittance of a payment. Combank SUCKS.
It was like that here for a moment as well but the backlash from the public was strong enough that it was revoked. This is talking about people who are banking with their own bank.
Your pubic need to get angry about it.. like swarms of people hit the banks and complain about the fee or ask for.it to be refunded every time you speak to the bank.. or go in and tell them to refund all the fees with your statement highlighted.. showing where they charged you or threaten a class action against them.. Watch how quickly they fold.
This is nothing new for the Commonwealth Bank. Credit card annual fees up 40% by sneakily changing to monthly charge. Interest free credit card period reduced by 10 days. But, I can’t imagine anyone is surprised.
I was a CBA customer for more than 40 years and I applied for a small loan ( $ 80,000 ) to buy my first home. The bank refused my request so I closed my accounts and changed banks. Loyalty means nothing anymore.
Don’t forget they charge you $2-$3 to take out your own money out of those ATM’s 🏧 that say “All cards accepted” but yeah at a price they’re excepted 😒. They’re usually in pubs these ATM’s.
Try credit unions.. they are a lot better and provide just as many services too.. plus when you open an account with a credit union, they usually use your first deposit as a share purchase so every person using them have part shares in the union itself.
Do not see the problem at all. Use ATM and be happy. They definitely do not make money from these silly $3, its just to scare away everybody who (for unknown reason) cant use automated mainstream process and forces bank to increase expensive low-level staff.
@@andyman8630 Its not for profit, its, as noticed, to reduce useless hassle, 1000s of tellers counting money and occupying frontoffices instead of those who really matter - bankers, phone support, backoffice workers and so on. Of course there is another way to do banking - hire tellers, buy offices and RIP OFF everybody who is so dumb so he requires all this. But in modern world it does not pay back as very few of such dummies left.

They are the ones stealing from us & THEY DONT EVEN BOTHER WITH A MASK.
Draw all your cash out in one hit. Leave them nothing to profit from
That’s what I was thinking,come on every body,stand up for your rights,stand up and be counted
Customers need to charge the bank a fee on their deposits.
I closed all my Comm bank accounts. I got sick of them being a con bank.

About to be an ex customer. Yesterday afternoon, I needed to ring the CBA. I was on hold for 50 minutes, absolutely disgraceful. I ask the question where was everybody, picking up the kids from school, doing the shopping???
There's no data to be collected, analysed or sold in a cash transaction. This is how they monetise it.
Brilliant comment.
Omg!! Daylight robbery, shamefully bloody greedy.

Can they pay me a fee when there ATMs aren’t working?
One of the many reasons i closed all my accounts with CBA.
I find credit unions better
My father also got charged $3 per cheque he wrote but it was refunded when questioned.
Always question the motives..
Here is a rule.. if it's never mentioned, don't mention it..
Boycott guys! We have got this. Let the Australian People speak!
You would have to boycott the bank not the atm. The plan is to keep the money i the bank and get rid of cash.
@@UnfilteredH2O Yes exactly! Boycott any bank who wants to play this game.
Imagine what they will do when we are forced to go cashless!
Find another bank.. don't want cashless..
They are already doing it - x% surcharge for using card/for withdrawing from an ATM. Now this.
That's the point. They want cashless.

Where is all the cash. All we have is a number in a bank account.
To the launder mat.
Zeros and one's all digital make believe until you can fold it in ya wallet.
We should get $3 for putting money in the bank to be fair
CBA don't want to have tellers,
KEEP CASH !!!!!!
Cash is ultimately useless toilet paper that is revered by fools. When it's all shut down all you have is your wits and wisdom.
Here.. if they threaten to go cashless.. pull your money out.. the more the merrier.. and watch the. House of cards fall.
A cashless society is about control.
Closed my Commonwealth accounts years ago when they were charging $60 a year for account keeping fees.
Customer: If I put money into you bank over the counter will you pay be 3 dollars?
CBA: Of course we will that will be a 6 dollar fee!
Let your feet do the walking and go elsewhere people. We did over 10 years ago and never looked back. No fees for our own money that’s complete BS!
