Service has been dropping

published

Went in for some banking and the service was terrible with them not knowing my appointment was scheduled for the day.
Felt like they had better things to do than look at my new loan application.
Last time service was great but this time! I will be heading to ING

Service has declined terribly

published

More than 25 years with Bendigo. Always happy with service and staff until now. Submitted application for credit card at end of March (already hold Bendigo personal debit card and main banking account). Despite later requests for a result, and provision again of documents requested, I am still waiting - 17 May!
Insufficient staff? Obsolete systems? What has happened to my bank?

Customer service going down by the day

published

I have been with Bendigo Bank for years, had great customer service until recently. Bendigo Central branch staff have no clue what they are doing and takes weeks to do simple tasks.

A Bank on decline

published

I had a problem with a term deposit rollover this week-Rang Morphett Vale Branch in SA 6 times in the morning -
-no answer three times -
-call picked up and hung up 3 times without answering
-Called at the branch late morning -closed for lunch
This is not an isolated event and all of this together with the term deposit mess this Bank has lost its way
I Have been a customer for 30 years- always been great but now in serious decline for the last 2 years

Very helpful and supportive

published

20 yr customer, had fraudulent activity and money taken, from start of alerting bank everyone I dealt with was so helpful, especially branch staff who were so patient going through the recovery of funds process and changing accounts, passwords and all the pain involved, kept in touch with me and kept me informed and luckily my funds were put back into account, also very helpful afterwards with advise on keeping safe online. Can't thank them enough.

They are so committed to give you the best possible service

published

We do business with the Mareeba Bendigo Bank for over 15 years. We were glad that the bank has always supported our business in every respect. It was always a pleasure to go to the branches and the staff greeted us by name and with a smile. No problem was too big.
They helped us to grow and we never had the feeling that we were being ripped off like we had the experience with an other big Bank before. Thank you guys.

So many fees

published

So many undisclosed fees, bank changes interest rates without letting you know. Staff are useless and have no idea what their doing, manager seems to be non existent. Overall a very dishonest bank

Fees !!!

published

I recently went in to a branch to open a savings account. I put 20 dollars in and ordered a debit card. Before i had even got my card that 20 dollars had turned into 14 dollars.
Heres the thing....that little 6 dollars they quickly took will, in the long term, cost them much much more. I was just about to put in 750,000 into my account with them. Not only will i be closing my account i will ensure many MANY wont be bitten by this money thief organisation. I hope the CEO reads this.

Worst service and tardy

published

Joined Bendigo bank in 2016 and had nothing but trouble.
Incorrect paperwork sent and signed then told us incorrect forms sent have to redo 3 days before settlement on property. Then was told by conveyancer that Bendigo not ready and blamed me for signing paperwork too late.
Kept security over properties that was not required then asked for another fee to release the security.
Overall a VERY disorganized bank with no consideration for the customer despite their advertisements says they are the people’s bank. Rubbish my advice give them a big miss ! You can make a mistake but every interaction with them was a stuff up....

such know it all but DID NOT listen to what I had to say before jumping to conclusions again and again

published

Okay I have banked with this bank since 2015 because they were right next to where I worked and it was an easy account to open. Calling head office has not been pleasant once over the years. Today I received Ms Know it all, tells me what I just said to her, questions me but did not listen to what I had said which would have answered her question than laughs in a condescending way when I advised her Not to be a know it all on the next customer and LISTEN... DO THEY LISTEN...JUST TAKE A MINUTE TO LISTEN THAN YOU CAN ANSWER WITHOUT BEING SO RUDE ALONG THE WAY!!! BAD BANK, St George have always been nice to me, I need to change.

I did home loan 2 years ago with Ming Fu (doncaster branch), he did great job & provide best interest rate & service, even sometimes night time he still call & communication with you.
Last week we transfer the variable rates to Fix, he did for us so efficiently & get great deal for us again.
Just want to say thanks Ming.
