Tips - Transaction Accounts
Avoiding transaction fees |
|
 |
"The most effective way to avoid fees is to shop around. Some transaction accounts offer unlimited transactions for a fixed fee per month. These accounts can offer superior value if you are the type of person to withdraw $20 at a time from the ATM. Finding an account that caters to your transaction habits can be challenging, but it's worth it." - Steven Mickenbecker, CANSTAR CANNEX Head of Research, Product and Strategy. |
What's your monthly fee? |
|
 |
"If you have a transaction account, chances are you're being charged a monthly fee. It's a good idea to find out what fee you're paying, so you know if you're getting a good deal. Compare the fee to similar transaction accounts offered by other banks. Ask yourself, do I need an unlimited account or am I better off paying as I go?" - Peter Arnold, CANSTAR CANNEX Analyst. |
