The on-line saver is magnificently convenient. I do all my banking over the 'net and have never had any problems. And if you are employed by the Gummint they have even more special deals...	k8smum (6062)

When I started studying in 1997, I moved over to a no-fees package, and enjoyed the benefits for the seven years I was at uni. Interest-free overdraft of $1000 while studying. Same for first year of graduate package. Low-interest loan of up to $5000 while studying, and then up to $10,000 on the graduate package. Graduate package lasts for five years after graduating. Fixed-fees package of $10 (now moved up to $12) includes all internet/phone banking and e-transactions, and now covers manual transactions as well. The miinor glitches over the last 10 years have always been fixed within hours, without fuss. Agree that the delays in getting reference information on internet banking is a hassle, and delays in clearing funds can be frustrating. For a student, with no major banking requirements (i.e. current account/savings account), wouldn't hesistate to recommend NBNZ. Lizard	Lizard (2409)
