Tue 7 February 2006 - The party’s over
St George will stop allowing 4 free withdrawals at other ATMs for Victorian customers from April, as they reckon they’ve got more ATMs available now. Not as many as the other banks of course, though for me it’s not too bad, as my suburb is one of those blessed with a St George branch, and there’s a couple near work too.
There is something I like about St George ATMs. They have a “favourite withdrawal” facility, which lets you nominate what amount you most often like to take out. In my case (for whatever reason) it’s $90. So if you want that amount, all you have to do is put your card in, enter your PIN and then the Favourite Withdrawal button. Very quick.
What I don’t like about St George ATMs (compared to the Commonwealth ones I’ve used in the past) is there’s no option to see your balance on-screen, avoiding having it on a little bit of paper you subsequently have to throw away.
