Mad Max commented on How Come They Don't Change The Tax System?

It is strange they asked ID verification now. Wait until December when the government imposed ID verification becomes compulsory for…

Mad Max commented on Budget Direct Tells You That They Don't Insure Houses in Your Area - after Making You Enter All Your Details
Most insurances do that. They want all your details just for a quote, and they keep your details even if you don't go ahead with their…

Mad Max commented on Are Councils Abetting Car Thieves
The usual Ozbargain crowd commenting their anti-privacy crap and ganging up against a very valid concern OP has raised. Why should the…

What personal details and IDs are required to sign up?

That's fair enough, but people don't want to be ripped off just because they want to support australian producers.

Ave Maria on Saving Accounts with No Growth/Zero Withdrawal Requirements (or with work around)

Yes, they are all pretty much the same. If you know each bank's rules/systems, and you can make it work online within those rules/systems,…

You should email your system to ING so they can put it on their website on the FAQ! I am sure they will appreciate it and give you a bonus.

Same for BankWest. I called them to check before starting the application, so I didn't give them any personal information unnecessarily. It…

I have, not in the last few months though. First time I have been asked. BankWest's interest rate is only good for 4 months anyway. Not…

Mad Max commented on Understanding Bankwest Introductory Offer Period
They want a photo of you holding your ID next to your face, plus photo of ID. No way.
