    Is this that Rabbobank with iPads to offer to open the account that they failed to honor ?

    Would not trust these guys and will not waste my time this time.

        Incorrect. $0.71 of interest, being the differential between 4% (ING) and 3.15% with rabobank.

    • chocsyrup on 14/01/2015 - 12:22

      I could be wrong, but I thought that only credit card applications went on your credit file (not normal bank accounts).

      • saffers on 14/01/2015 - 12:24

        Not sure what it really means but see quote from my application process "nor could we verify you using credit information"

    • ChickenTalon on 14/01/2015 - 14:57

      No credit check required. However, they probably check credit records to make sure you are who you say you are (for Anti Money Laundering and terror financing laws). They just wont be interested in your credit score for a deposit account.

  • saffers on 14/01/2015 - 12:18

    After the online application you will need to send them a "Certified copy of an original Passport or Drivers Licence" via post.

    edit Sorry only me. :)

    "As one of the world’s safest banks we take security very seriously so we verify the details you give us in the account opening form against a number of databases (such as the electoral roll and White Pages). Unfortunately, we couldn’t identify you using these details, nor could we verify you using credit information. But all is not lost! We’re ready and waiting to open your shiny new RaboDirect account and all you need to do is send certified copies of your identity documents (eg passport or driver’s licence)."

      Will that remove you as a customer from their records? Ie. Internet banking account also closes.

      Need this to happen to take advantage of the next promo lol

      • expertreader on 14/01/2015 - 15:40

        As a customer, I would expect so or they need to notify to me in account closure confirmation letter.

      You would need to use your Apple Store voucher to buy iTunes/App Store vouchers, which you could then redeem in the App Store.

    Please login to your RaboDirect account online and select My details to be taken to the My Messages section to view the message we have sent you.

    Edit: Okay I was silly. The details get sent out by post.

  • devpress on 16/01/2015 - 11:39

    I've just completed the application, but in my instance it's opened two accounts:
    - High Interest Savings Account
    - Premium Saver Account

    Does it matter into which account the $1000 balance needs to be held?

    EDIT: Just spoke to Rabo's call centre…apparently it doesn't matter as long as its a RaboDirect account

  • drsmithy on 31/01/2015 - 19:25

    Completed application on 15th, but went away on holidays before their welcome pack arrived.

    Got back today and went through the motions. All I can say is, if this is an example of how the rest of this outfit is run, I'll be closing my account as soon as I have the e-voucher. Transferred my $1000. Just hope I can get it back out again.

  • mjp80 on 16/02/2015 - 16:58

    It says 10 working days from the time you satisfy conditions. So I reckon we've got 2 more weeks before we can complain.

      ok

  • LukyTom on 25/02/2015 - 08:39

    • mjp80 on 25/02/2015 - 08:53

      Even if your $1000 transfer took place (and posted to your RaboBank account) the day this deal was posted, it still hasn't been 30 days at minimum balance plus 10 business days. I'd give at least them til the end of the week.

  • SY on 25/02/2015 - 10:34

    guys! I have emailed them to ask and this is the reply I got.

    Thanks for your email.

    For customer that have satisfied the requirements to receive the $100 Apple gift card, they will start to be posted out to customers in the first week of March.

    If you require any further assistance, please give us a call on 1800 445 445, Monday to Friday, 8am-7pm AEST.

    Thanks

      So after lowering the rate to 2.75% shortly before people hit the 30 days and giving you in writing that they'll send out the cards within ten business days after you kept your money there for 30 days, it's first week of March now? I guess I'll pass on promotions from Rabo from now on.

      • mjp80 on 27/02/2015 - 17:51
        -1

        This deal was posted on January 14th. IF you applied AND completed a $1000 transfer on the day the deal was posted (including the money showing up in your Rabo account, which usually takes 2-3 business days), then your 30 days was up on February 13th. 10 business days from then is today.

        So yes, if you joined this promo as soon as it went live and have the fastest banking skillz ever, perhaps they have delayed your compensation by a couple of days. Boo hoo. Consider the fact that they may have been overwhelmed by applicants and cut them some slack.

        And interest rates were cut concurrent with the RBA rate cut. Every bank with variable rate products cut their interest rate.

        I'm sure your "business" won't be missed if you don't take advantage of future promotions. The forgone interest (Rabo rate compared to another high interest account) is about $1.00. Some people are unbelievably ungrateful.

    Anyone got a call for different offer? I opened account on 15th but didn't send documents until 20/01. They called me to ask on about 29th if I am happy to receive gold class movie tickets / free wine / free magazine subscription for 6 months as I'll be too late for transferring money to Rabo account but with above option they will extend time frame to deposit money for 5 days.

    I am not sure if it was good customer service or they did not open my account until 29/01 purposefully to refrain from sending me $100 voucher.
