More reason to keep all my money in a piggy bank

[gemfyre]

Bank West informed me today that there is now a $7.50 fee for changing foreign money. What an utter load of crap, there goes me selling to people in the U.S. and liking the fact cuz I get double what they pay due to our pitiful exchange rate.

They've also recently introduced a fee for transactions online, so I get slugged everytime I make a direct deposit for an eBay win.

And I got charged $3.25 for an "electronic transaction fee". Apparently EFTPOS also counts towards your 20 a month electronic transactions, I'm sure it used to be just ATMs and they changed it without letting me know. So much for just using the card so I didn't need to carry around cash.

Banks suck, one day everyone will just have had enough and withdraw all their money and the banks will be like "but what did we do??"

Stupid banks.

Oh and about the song below.
What the fuck does "bootylicious" mean and WHY does she sing "I don't think your ready for this jelly."?? Why, because it's not set yet? because it's a flavour you won't like?? weirdness, it's only in my head cuz that teeny weeny chick at karaoke sung it and did it really well and that drunk guy did his little dance to it.

you really need to go in and bitch about most of the fees your getting cos your account is sposed to be a fee "free" student account. i know it isnt totally fee free and stuff, but some of the rediculous fees your getting aren't stuff that are on the student accounts at commies or nats

not really

only fee on the actual account is the electronic transaction one. I get 20 free transactions before they start charging me. I just thought EFTs didn't count, only ATMs.

The exchanging currency fee has nothing to do with what account I have, every poor bugger gets slugged with that if they wanna exchange currency.

My bank is a damn site better than yours ;)
