Westpac morons at work

[FROSTY:Me]

are you sure this is from westpac? Theres a scam going round that seems to be from banks but its not

[MSTRS:Me]

A scam? Just one?
Come on, Frosty...
Nah, this one's legit. I'm not sure how it makes my log-in safer, tho. And I don't do facebook.

On an unrelated note;

Anyone who is not banking with Kiwibank or TSB is a national traitor.

That is all.

So you're saying if there's a kiwi alternative, you're a traitor for not using it?

Hypocrate Much?

Nah the aussies are nice.
They tell us they are going to fuck us.
I was a long term post bank customer - for 10 years they told us that we were kiwi, we are proud, we'll look after ya.....
Meanwhile postbank was silently raping us from behind.

You wait - there will be a time when one of these lovely NZ business rapists touches kiwibank.........then is onto the disassemble line with
- Bluebirds
- NZ Rail....

At least international banks have to be kept honest here.
"I am going to fuck you sir"
"Thankyou - please be gentle, its my first mortgage"
"I will try to sir, bend over, and thank you for banking with ANZ/Westpac...."

the alternative is
"We have the cheapest rates"
"I would like the cheapest rates"
"here you go, sign here"
"Great......hey that was ok........why am I bleeding........where is this blood coming from???? .............WTF!.......RAPE RAPE or god why wont the rape stop!!!!????"
Next thing you know the doctor is pulling a smart car out your ass, your money will be gone in some SCF fund and the pain will be incredible.

I'm BNZ and they have an initial logon that you create yourself, but it still doesn't allow you in to your account.
They send you a gridded card with numbers and letters in it and when you have done your initial logon the bank will ask for a sequence of numbers and letters from this card they give you. It changes every time you logon and they change your card every few months. Seems pretty damn fine to me.

Use ASB daily. No jumping through hoops. Enter your password and you get access.
No one knows my username anyway.

PSIS have a RSA key. Every 30 seconds it displays a new 6 digit number. You have to know this as well as your login and password.

Its my opinion that Westpac have just come up with a crap idea that saves them $5 per account for a proper system like an RSA key, or a TXT message.

keep ya fucking pittance under the mattress if ur that god damn worried

[Swoop]

Anyone who is not banking with Kiwibank ... is a national traitor.

On a related note...
Anyone who uses kiwiwank is an arrogant, selfish, bastard.
Fuck off and get your own buildings and stop parasiting on Postshop.
Those of us who want to simply post a parcel do not want some 2-digit IQ fuckwit who cannot pay their telephone bill online, holding up the queue.

Get your own building.

BNZ customers have this plastic card with different numbers on it, and you have to look at the card and enter numbers off the card in order to access the account. It seems like a good idea, as long as the thief/fraudster doesn't get hold of that card.

If a fraudster gets hold of my card...he also needs to connect it wth the correct bank account number....then he has to know my password which only I know...1+ for the BNZ system.

Why on earth would you have your grandparents or mothers maiden name etc on Facebook? WTF?

I havent.

I dont even have a face book page.

But for all I know, my mother may have one. Or my Auntie, or a cousin.

Or your great Aunty Ethel may have published the results of her genealogy research on line.

The point is adding more locks to a security system makes it more secure.

Adding more keys makes it less secure.

And a good lock/key combination is obscure, encrypted and random.

Westpacs new system adds more keys, as knowing the answers to the challenge questions obviates the need to know the password.

It also fails the obscure, encrypted, random test, as the challenge questions are common to ALL Westpac customers.
