After an ill-advised stint with Commonwealth (the Dollarmite account sucked me in as an 8 year old)…read moreANZ have been My Bank. And they've been great, in all honesty. Not have been, are. I particularly like the ANZ Falcon, cool advertising and I feel safer knowing they're on the hunt for irregular account activity and hackings. I had some important banking to do today and hit the bank in Chatty at 4.30pm. Only to find the branch closed. It closes at 4pm. Say whaaaaa?! I banged on the metal grill over the glass doors because that's what you do when you're frustrated. But then I though, what if I'm on CCTV, and the Falcon team are mobilising as we speak? So I ran. I'm not proud of it, but I ran, and I will return before 4pm another day like a good little peon because what choice do we have against the Big 4 and their arbitrary decision-making and giant profits?

I don't know what kind of initiative they have in place at Westpac in Balmain, but whatever it is,…read moreit's working. The girls that work there are always smiling, always happy, and are either fantastic actors or genuinely love their jobs. Even when promted by customers to say a bad word (overheard: "So, is ____ a terrible boss to work for?"), the girls insist that it's a fantastic work environment, and it's hard not to believe them. Proudly displaying their support for local businesses in any which way they can, it really feels like Balmain Westpac is trying hard to become your local. And with the shop dotted by kids drawings, their reasonably efficient service and the tellers' ability to call you by name after a quick glance at your details, they might just succeed.
