Loving the new Bank Account

kirby1024On my birthday, I decided that, due to the Commonwealth Bank not liking me and refusing to give me a Debit Card, I'd open up a new bank account at a Bank Account that actually understands that a Visa Debit Card doesn't require them to borrow money to me.
That bank happens to be St. George. I'm liking their service so far, They've got nice bank branches, the staff are kind and curteous, if slightly underskilled, they have very good student options, etc. The new card came very quickly, and after I got all the bits and pieces for the card, I've been happy with it. Have, in fact, even used it to purchase a roleplaying book off the web - a book called Capes, that's only available on the web.
My only issue at the moment is the Internet Banking side. It looks wonderful, but the fact that I not only have to remember a password but a "security number" is a slight drop in pleasure from using the account. The fact that I'm on dial-up and it's a Java system is also detracting a little.
On the other hand, I can shop on the internet, and not worry about a credit-card bill. I can handle the Internet Banking for the freedom to buy the stuff I really want over the internet. All up, I can highly recommend to people St. George. They're actually pretty decent...
