	<title>Money magazine Comments - Why you shouldn't get your bank cheque from a bank</title>

<p><p>According to this:</p>
<p>https://www.nab.com.au/personal/help-and-guidance/personal-banking-fees-and-charges#2i</p>
<p>There is no charge to draw a bank cheque from NAB if you withdraw over $1000 from a nab "rewards saver" account.</p>
<p>Excuse me while I transfer the amount I wish to withdraw into my savings account (rather than my offset account).</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>

<p><p>This article is incredibly misleading. As Ana said above ING Direct offer bank cheques sent via Registered Post for free. It's not hard to find that information either!</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>

<p><p>I've ordered a bank cheque from ING just the other day to buy a car. It was free. The author is definitely wrong and suspiciously so, considering how obvious ING are about their free cheques.</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>

<p><p>Interestingly St George has taken upon itself to implement a three day clearance process on CASH BANK CHEQUES (SPIN THAT CASH BABY ON THE HIGH RISK MARKET FOR A FEW DAYS WHILST A 70 YEAR OLD LADY WAITS TO HAND OVER HER VEHICLE.....fkn ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!----WTF how is anyone with St George supposed to sell a car ????<br>
It is clear the current banking situation of thievEs in suits is not the only problem...Borderline IQ's and a lack of any Finacial License KNOWLEDGE AND obligation by a group of "customer service" monkeys totally unqualified to even answer telephones let alone deal with anything regarding laws or expectations.....Welcome to the Australian Liberalised Banking System...broken, bent, corrupt and a healthy hatred for thier clients.

<p><p>I need a certificate from Victoria Police and as a payment they only accept cheque or money order, it seems like these guys are frozen back to the 70s!</p>
<p>So if I want a cheque from my bank, Commbank, they charge $15 to issue it to me PLUS they will charge $1.50 to the entity which will withdraw the money, if this isn&#39;t robbery, tell me what is because maybe I&#39;m stupid??</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>
