769070 2009-04-27 22:39:00 ANZ has just implemented ads on their internet banking site.

They're ads for ANZ services, so not served up by Google, but even so....

I have sent them a message to say I'm not happy being presented ads while I'm trying to concentrate on my online banking and have told them I'll be looking elsewhere unless they remove them.

Can anyone confirm that the other banks DON'T have ads for their own services presented to customers while transferring money from one account to another?

Westpac
ASB
TSB
National
BNZ
HSBC

any others?

769071 2009-04-27 22:43:00 No ads on ASB's site. wratterus (105)
769072 2009-04-27 22:47:00 Nothing on BNZ's site or Kiwibank that I have seen but haven't used Kiwibank for a while. CYaBro (73)
769073 2009-04-27 23:19:00 None on National Bank site (yet) :thumbs: Richard (739)
769074 2009-04-28 01:50:00 Depending on which page you are referring to regarding ads.

I Bank with both Westpac and National. Their home pages are very similar to ANZ and all the others.

Westpac Home (www.westpac.co.nz/) ANZ Home (http:) national Home (www.nbnz.co.nz) Kiwi bank Home (http://www.kiwibank.co.nz/)


The actual pages that you log into to do your transactions - westpac & national - No ads at all.

769075 2009-04-28 02:09:00 Yeah - it's the transactional pages I'm concerned about. Very distracting and VERY annoying. Don't really care about their non-secure pages - don't use them. johcar (6283)

Nice balance!! :D

Doesn't count as advertising in my book - nothing like as in-your-face as the ANZ crap!!

I'm saving for a harbour bridge, sorry. I might be able to spring $200 for an old Datsun 120Y:D
