I use both Westpac and Combank's Netbanking services. Combank's problems: - it is by far the slowest. - you cannot on-click until all the images are loaded - you cannot transfer to other bank's accounts - loan accounts don't show up - transfers change the balances (sometimes) but the transactions don't show until the next working day - its billpayment service is a real pain. With Westpac's you can schedule the payment up to 60 days in advance, can't with the Combank's. Support for Combank's is poor. I had trouble with a biller's requirements (length and format of account number). The support people (EDS?) only told me the length not the format. A similar request to Westpac gave me both. Still I have a great banking package with the Combank.

Comm Bank doesn't even require cookies. I suspect that their initial Netbank application a few years ago (Windows only) generated so many support requests from Windows users, and what-about-me's from Mac/UNIX users that they finally chose to switch to a plain-vanilla (and reasonbly fast, few graphics) web interface. It's great. - Raz -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug ---------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
