After trying to transfer funds to CoinSpot I was blocked out of my account several times with the lame excuse that I was dealing with a scam. I contacted St George to let them know that I was not being scammed I was buying crypto at my own choice. I was then told that I am a dangerous customer and that my internet banking is going to be blocked for life. So when does St George become the owner of my money and the decision maker of how I spend it? This just happened on Friday so on Monday I am walking into s branch to withdraw all my funds and close my accounts. Congratulations to St George on a job well done of losing another customer. Keep up the good work!

I notified them that I was going overseas but they still put a hold on my credit card on 5 occasions and then locked me out my online account. It’s impossible to contact them from overseas, so I can’t get my credit card in blocked. I will be closing my accounts with them as soon as I get back to Australia.

Applied for a credit card and there was so many issues. Apparently it kept being blocked upon being sent but St George do not then let you know this and instead I would often call up and ask why hasn't my card arrived? Multiple trips to the branch, where they often had to call internally and I think we were transferred multiple times. Even after visiting a branch it was blocked again! Finally spoke with someone who had the card couriered out so I could track it's delivery. Now dealing with I overpaid and called to have my balance transfer restored which they said as a good gesture they would and expect it within a few days to be back to normal. Two weeks later I online chat, who say I must call and once on hold for 45 minutes and I get transferred 4 times! The last person who supposedly was in the credit card department sends me back to the original main menu where I have to pick an option? The departments seem so disjointed and no-one has a clue about your issue. So disappointed and frustrated as I've never experienced this many issues with a bank before.

My credit card was fraudulently used at 7.31pm on Friday 12th May.
The messaged me at 8.10 to say they thought it might be fraud. The card was subsequently used 4 times in 4 minutes.
They called me immediately and the card was cancelled within an hour.
A new card was delivered by Tuesday 16th May.
A full refund of fraudulent purchases was received by me by Friday 19th May.
All in all a very satisfactory response! Well done St George!

The most ingenuine bank. Everyone you interact with is very dismissive and you get canned response for everything.

St George is the worst bank, especially if you have a Directions and Authority Order issued by NSW Trustee and Guardian Tribunal. They absolutely don’t recognise this. I live overseas, came to Sydney to get everything organised and they are refusing full access to the managed person’s account. How can I pay necessary bills when I’m overseas? I need internet banking access to be able to do this, which they refused. Their excuse is “This is our policy”. So I withdrew all the money and opened up an account in Commonwealth Bank instead. They were very forthcoming and helpful. There are hundreds of people like me who have done the same. I DON’T RECOMMEND THIS BANK.

Pretty bad. They left a credit card I've overpaid sitting there for 10 years and made no effort to contact me (despite having same email address for 25 years). They only alerted me when they sent the money to ASIC as unclaimed. It was rather painful getting my money back.

They declined a loan app as I am a single woman. I have no debt, very good income, very low overheads as I own my property outright but they refused a $50k home improvement loan with no reason. Terrible bank if you are female and have no debt they don't want to deal with you.

I have been banking with St George since 2009 and have my home loan with them. Recently I went to pay out a large part of my loan and was told by 2 phone banking operators how it would work. 2! Only for the WRONG information to have been given and the consequences of that were VERY costly.
I am now going to pay out the remaining balance and take my business elsewhere.
Absolutely disgraceful. You would think after 7 home loan increases in less than a year they would treat their customers better. Train your staff properly !!!! I will never bank with them again!

My 96 year old mother in law had a term deposit with them which matured last month. She has just discovered that they chose to roll it over into a new TD offering only 0.35%. This is roughly one tenth of commonly available rates. When we complained on her behalf at the branch we were told that there was a 30 day wait to get her money out and that she would lose most of the paltry amount of interest she had earned.
This is disgusting taking an old lady's money at such a pathetic rate and then refusing to immediately rectify the situation.
Most banks currently offer maturity options of paying out the TD or rolling it over at their then commercial rate. St George appear to have a third option (or trap for the unwary) that if you fail to select one of the first two they take your money at minimal interest and lock it in.

Online banking works great on the phone or laptop. Would have gotten 5 stars if they didn't close my local branch making me drive 20mins.

The online banking works pretty good and has everything you'd expect.

Terrible customer support and no idea how they operate with their overseas customers. I had to wait on line for 2 hours only to get no support . The call cost me 10$

Amplify Platinum Applications default to another card - watch out!

So you see a nice Qantas bonus points on the platinum card offer, you follow the prompts all the way to the application, answer hundreds of questions and submit. Get the card weeks later and get told on the form one of the questions defaulted "type of card" to another basic card, that is not the platinum card with the promotion.

not only is this a waste of time to problem solve, each application affects a person's credit history. The operators take 40 mins each to respond and you get bounced around at least a few times, so don't bother calling unless you have 1-2 hours.

After my 4th attempt of calling, they say casually cancel the card and reapply- never mentioning once that this damages credit reports.

The sly set up and highly inefficient bureaucracy at this bank made it my first and last dealing with St George bank.
