Wow! A bank that doesn't charge you fees. You lucky Americans!

Lets see, that'll be $5 for going below $500, $1.50 per other bank ATM
transaction. $1.something for an other bank EFTPOS transaction. Now,
where's my 0.25% PA interest? Lets not talk about overdrafts...

I don't think that there are any banks here that don't charge fees, at
least not to people without mortgages/shareholdings.
