Subject: Re: Re: Change Contact Details Request
I find it quite distressing that someone that works for a bank cannot tell the difference between a 3 and a 4.
I would like to refer you to my original change of address request.
I have had my "personal banker" recommend an account type for me to change to. I have requested it be changed. I have been informed that they will need to send me a form to do so. I have received no form.
Now be a good boy and put one of those change of account forms in the post to ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FOUR A Dover's Road.
Thank you,
Ben

ha, looks like you found out what its like to be treated like a National Bank customer.
I took great delight in telling them to shove their accounts last week.
Westpac were the only ones who were prepared to loan me enough money to buy a house, and to cap it off, no fees ever, on anything except for intrest where applicable

ahh the National Bank, I know how you feel, I think they invented stupid.
I once asked if it was possible to put more transaction details on the online statement, you know with selling on TradeMe and all. They came back with: oh but it's already there, huh where I can't see anything. After 5 emails, just running around in circles, I just gave up. :brick:
I found out later (not thanks to NBNZ) that you had to download the statement to see all the details. Now, how hard is that to put in an email. :weird:

Heh. I'm with ASB, and just in terms of customer service I've always been glad I'm with them, and not National. My boss used to pay me with an actual physical cheque (thank god I've got him to do a direct deposit), from National bank. Being as poor as I am, I couldn't wait the 3-day bank clearance time from giving the cheque to ASB to bank for me, so I used to go to National bank and ask for it to be cashed (you can do this, they just ask for ID). Every single time I went into National bank, not only were the staff rude to both me and their own customers, but the service was slow, poor, and I frequently overheard arguments. The worst thing about National is their front doors -- they make you stand in front of the automatic door, which rings a bell inside and a bank teller (who might be in the middle of dealing with a customer) will look at you through the door, and if you look like you're not carrying a gun, will press a button to open the door manually. I don't appreciate being treated like a criminal every time I go there.
I will never put my business with National, even when I have any money.

From a personal point of view, to be fair on the bank's, each of our own experiences do come down to a mixture of banking rules and the bank staff member you deal with... same for councils, insurance companies, police, hospitals etc etc. I'd be careful about slamming an entire organisation over one incident with one individual who may be a complete dickhead.
Given that, we also have to be reasonable in what we ask and how we ask it. And as far as fees etc go, why should we all expect to get everything from them for free? Do you do work for free? The purpose of being in business or being employed is to make a profit/wage/salary. NZ has a very competitive banking market. They are not perfect at all, but its a lot better here than many overseas countries. Consider the service and level of "competitiveness" we get for our insurances in comparison to the banks....
I seem to pay a fortune in premiums every year and for what? Whereas the banks often fight hard to compete on price while trying to give the service needed (good or bad).

pfffft I'm with National... don't really care, I reckon banks are mostly the same, and don't have any major issues...
My gripe is National's snail like pace at moving onto the net, time it takes to update the account transactions on-line etc. Only recently they stopped charging you to set up bill payees, and allowed you to do it yourself... doing a bank mail for that was retarded...
I learnt as a kid, go to the counter to deposit money, and it will take you more time, you will get more grief etc. ATM's worked much more efficiently :yes: Net is just the next step... I want to deposit money via teleporter :Punk:

:yes: I already have an ASB mastercard credit card with true reward points.
I only just put a pin number on it last week tho... so been using eftpos card mainly. Have direct debt set up to pay it automatically each month.
When my credit card expired... they sent me a new one... but cuz it was a new card.. I had to go into the bank to put pin back on it... (not easy with work, cuz the banks are closed when I finish, and not open when I start... however I squeezed it in... and now have pin lol)
I just have to remember when I get paid (monthly.. only 12 times a year!!)... to transfer money onto it etc... :yes:

Haha hence the term "fair weather bankers"
I work for a Bank and normally assume the position for a good kicking when I the inevitable question of occupation arises while standing around the BBQ having a few beers. We call this the "BBQ test"
When I joined the Bank we seemingly had tonnes of staff and most processes were manual and generally conducted locally, things were not perfect but we had people with vast experience who had the discretion to make decisions.
The amount of change that I have seen in the past 10 years makes my eyes water. Thankfully I’ve been plucked off the deck of the Titanic more times than I care to remember but I fear this change has come at some cost. As an example, my business unit had ~100 staff 7 years ago, now there are 14 and volumes have increased significantly, as have risks.
Where we seem to be at the moment is pockets of expertise and specialisation that offer a deeper and more sophisticated range of solutions than have ever been available. Unfortunately most people will not come into contact with these areas as they are reserved for the top tier of customer, think Fonterra et al
IMHO The remainder would seem to be cost driven so the back office is generally a factory type structure with a discretionless front end, ticking boxes to pass to the factory. I guess this is borne out of competitive pressure and the drive for increased profitability. Between these 2 pressures lie the service proposition, and its one area that is a difficult line to walk. Banks take this very seriously, constantly seeking feedback and making changes but we effectively have a highly regulated monster of a business and change tends to be conservative, expensive and slow.
Finance is a deeply personal thing, what is right for one is entirely inappropriate for others and when it goes wrong, by its very nature people get justifiably bent out of shape, I think this can be attributed to structure and communication i.e. the Business is not necessarily setup to accommodate everyone and when it goes wrong who do I talk to. I guess Banks get away with this because of customer apathy and a largely captive market. By this I mean either apathy through perceived switching cost and captive once every Bank in Town had pissed you off who do you turn to?
My advice:
Once you find someone in your Bank or a Bank that you are happy with then stick with it but be prepared to change if that person or Bank policy moves on.
Be a ratewhore, employ brokers, they cost nothing. See what’s on offer and go with it. This could potentially save you heaps.
If you are not happy, keep escalating the issue – every one in this business has a boss. It could be that your issue is easily resolved yet you have not struck people within the Bank that have the right skill set to help.
Do as much of your personal banking as you can by yourself. Use the internet type products eg changing address, APs funds transfer etc, it will cut down on bank error and improve turnaround time.
Anyway Dover asked what sort…well for the most part they are as honest and reliable as we can get ranging through to highly qualified specialist staff, so basically all sorts.
We all have horror stories Dude and I am sorry but don’t rate a simple change of address as being a material life changing event. True horror stories are. Get the internet and sort it by yourself, don’t wait for a monkey to send a form, then get on the web bleating when it doesn’t happen. And by the way, when you call someone “boy” it is roughly equivalent to slagging the wait staff just prior to sending your meal back at a restaurant because you spuds are cold. You may feel justified but I wouldn’t recommend eating it when it came back…..

NATIONAL BANK don't have a sophisticated enough system to allow me to change the address online.
I never said it was a horror story dickhead it's just an example of incompetence and shit customer service.
The fact is I sent a terse email bitching about my change of address being fucked up and got attitude back from a "customer services" person who is clearly illiterate.
I have plenty of customer service experience and when you fuck up, you kiss arse. If you want to keep customers.
I have met one good cunt that works for National, the rest have been absolutely fucking useless, lacking in personality, rude and with the worst "customer service" skills I have ever experienced.
You're correct when you say that all the changes in the banking industry are profit driven. Disgusting profits for providing a fucking rip off and downright insulting service to everyday people whilst lining the pockets of fat cats and investors. The joys of a captive market.

I was with the National Bank years ago and found them on the whole to be pretty poor. I was trying to arrange a small personal loan once and had made an appointment with one of their staff to sign the documents. I get there at the appointed time and she wasn't there. She was at lunch! I had made the appointment at the bank and they had walked over and checked the time with her while I was there. It didn't get much better over the next few years so when I was left a large amount of money, I took great delight in walking in, paying off my loan and credit card and closing all my accounts. I'm with the Bank of NZ now and while they are not perfect, we do have two people in our local branch that we are more than happy to deal with. They do seem to give a damn and they have been pretty good to us over the years. Whenever I've had to do anything online or had to call the call centre, the staff have been pleasant to deal with and I've not had any problems either.
It does pay to shop around for a bank though - as Jimmy B says, no one bank suits everyone.

The rest of your post is spot on as well.
Dover (and anyone else who hate their bank), changing banks may not be the chore it used to be. Our internal communications tell us we have a team dedicated to helping customers migrate from their current bank. I don't know too much about it as I work more in the technology area but if interested send a PM and I can find out.

What makes a good bank? if there are lots of problems with them like fees services and all that jazz, wouldnt it be easier to do away with the accounts and just have a safe at home somewhere secret??
At least you know where your money is and you are in control..just dont forget where you bury it:shutup:
And make sure the dog does not dig the stash up either.:mellow:

Yes it is a lot more easier.
When I go to fill up with petrol for example, I always go 5 cents over the amount, for example if it is $60.00 I will go to $60.05 and pay a cash amount of $60.00 and receive $0.05 for free.
Or I could be a clown and use Eftpos and pay an extra $0.05 plus any applicable Eftpos transaction fees.
What is the point of storing money in a bank so that they can earn money from other customers through their other products/services all while charging you a hefty premium for the service of "managing" your money.
Bank's are a business that must meet the common expectations every other business is burdened with -- the primary being profit.
When you enter a business relationship with your chosen Bank find the best ways to get the most out of your relationship, otherwise its not worthwhile.
You wouldn't stay with an abusive husband or wife so why stay with an abusive bank?

Well my Mrs works for Westpac, and knowing the shit that they get up to and the fees on top of fees! I wouldnt bank with them, they are the most expensive bank. All the baging about National bank, and they still win the service award, they have won it for nearly every year for ages.

You've got Finsec to thank for that!!!
Heh I used to fix there computers.
One of the seniors staffs kids was some famous cock in a frock (Mika?) and they were all hardcore marxists.. Not really surprising for a union but hey lol.
Then one day I was talking politics to one of the staff and they didnt like my right wing views and complained to my then boss and another technician had to goto that site after then lol.

I bank with National and have never had a problem in fact they've been nothing but helpful above and beyond the call of duty!!
Maybe I've just got a good bank manager and he's fucking off to the UK next week so I guess I'll find out how good they are when his replacement takes over!!
