I hope this inspires a massive migration off CBA and a rollback of the policy. Because if it doesn’t, the other banks will be sure to follow.

    I moved away from CommBank once they started charging me a monthly fee while I was still a teenager, in the 2000s. Convinced my whole family to switch to NAB. I hope NAB don’t follow suit.

        Most banks in Australia are completely free too. It’s only a couple of the biggest and shittiest banks (like Commbank) that have fees for regular use.

            Not no fees, but typically no fees for normal use. Most have international transaction fees. Some have fees for things like cheques (which are almost never used in Australia typically), either merely to have a cheque book or for expedited processing. Things like that. But it’s quite rare to have a fee just to have your account; that’s something mostly only the big 4 still do. They make enough profit off of loaning out your money for interest anyway.
