I use the Commbank app and NFC to pay for stuff, but only if I realise I’ve left my wallet in the car because I don’t want to get in the situation where I end up going to a place without an RFID card reader. 99.9% of the time I will pay with my card.
It also seems a bit awkward to say “I’ll pay with my phone” (though I’d imagine with uptake this will change).
I don’t get wanting to fumble with a phone when tapping a card is so easy.
Surprised the amount of Commbank users, I had a dollarmite account - but haven’t used them since shutting that when I was 12.
I chose NAB on the basis of the amount of fees - all the other major banks I looked at, and Bendigo Bank who I was with at the time, charged either an account keeping fee or per-transaction fees. Seems to still be the case.
What are people’s reasons for choosing their current bank?
I’ve had the same combank account since they took over my State Bank account in 1990. I’ve had a NAB and ING account as various times and several others from CBA, but my daily account hasn’t changed.
Have had a Comm Bank account since 1990 too when they took over the the only other bank which had school banking in Tassie. Used it all the years until we switched but still kept that account open for a few years to Westpac but once we got a home loan 10 years ago, moved everything back to Comm Bank and have several accounts with them now. Never really had a problem.
It’s good having Apple Pay if I want to walk to the local Coles or Woolworths and I don’t feel like bringing my purse with me ,only need to bring my phone and keys👍
