Westpac is stealing my money!

pcblues.com - Articles

They have just anounced a 50% rise in account keeping fees.
That means $7.50 per month just to have an account.
That does not include charges for transactions.
The fee is waived if I have $2000 or more in the account for that entire month.
The account awards no interest on savings for realistic amounts of money.
If I have $1999 or less in the account, they are charging me anywhere from 4.5% to 100% interest depending on my balance.
If that $2000 was in INGDIRECT, it would be earning me over $100 per year in income.

It wouldn't be theft if I had an option for an account to be paid into.

If anyone knows of a daily account I can use that doesn't charge me ridiculous amounts so that they can invest my money for earnings, please let me know.

Update 11.2.06
I found out that my employer has a special deal with ANZ to offer accounts with waived fees. Check if your employer has a similar arrangement.

Also, ANZ (anz.com) have a transaction account that looks like it has $5 per month fees and no transaction fees. Unless I am mistaken, this is much better value. (This is not a paid advertisement. I am doing it as public service/out of anger)

Update 3.4.06
Done. Pain in the arse that it was - Westpac took over an hour to close my accounts, and I had to tell them to give me their computer keyboard so that I could complete part of the account-closing by logging into my own online account and completing a transfer of money between accounts. Talk about relief to be done with them.
