    OOPs kept reading and... this is why I don't pay fees...

    From TCU website (I have a homeloan WAAAYYYY over $100 000 so no fee for me)
    Members can easily avoid the access fee if they fit into one of the following categories:

    1. Are:

    * Under 18 years or
    * A Rewards Package member or
    * Part of our Future Teacher program and deposit $50 per month


    2. Have total loans or total deposits over $100,000

    3. Have any 3 of the following:

    * Home loan over $20,000
    * Investment loan over $20,000
    * Personal loan over $20,000
    * Total deposits over $20,000
    * Saving account deposits of $500 per month

    They are offering a great deal on a car loan that I am considering - they are streets ahead of everyone else so far!!!

    We are with a credit union as well (TEachers credit union). They're pretty good, way better than one of the big banks I used to use ('which bank?' )
    We dont pay fees as we have our mortgage with them and the Visa debit card is really good because you can used it like a credit card but its your own money.
    You do have to be a teacher tojoin this particular credit union, but there are heaps of other CU's that anyone can join, and from what I've seen most of the credit union do a Via or Mastercard Debit card and usually dont charge huge fees.

    Definately have a look at some of the Credit unions before looking at the banks.
