Are you loyal to Banks and how long have you been with your current one?

I tend to be loyal to everyone where I can.

I am with the Bendigo Bank and would not change unless something drastic happened -they are like an old fashioned bank with the service we used to know and like! Less waiting time.

I have been with them for about 15 years now and would not willingly go back to any of the big banks.

I have been with my bank for longer than I can recall!!! I have no desire to change and I always feel a genuine loyalty as well as a sense of thanks ,as when I became too ill to work they helped me so very much in sorting an extension to my mortgage and a a payment free period for up to 3 months if I needed to take advantage of it! They also are very much on the ball with noticing when unusual things are happening within the account and contacting me about transactions which seem downright odd compared to my usual banking behaviour! This happened just yesterday actually ! I got a call to say that my Debit card appeared to have been compromised with strange transactions totalling over $7,000.00 showing in the past 3 days!!! They ,of course declined payment as ,being a DEBIT card,I only put what I need into the card account so I can pay any bill immediately,leaving a NIL or nearly nil balance within half an hour! They also cancelled the card completely and were phoning to let me know all this had been going on.A new card with new details and PIN is on its way,and I could not be more relieved or more impressed with this fantastic vigilant service. Wow!!! I wish that maybe I DID have over 7 grand to spend,but it certainly would never be in a DEBIT account,if I did!!!
Yes! I am VERY loyal to my bank and it does happen to be one of the big ones!

My grandfather opened my bank account for me when I was born LOL

I don't stay with them out of loyalty, I stay because banks are banks. There's no point swapping because they all do the same rip off rubbish.

I feel NO Loyalty what-so-ever.

They make a ton of money, and it makes me sick!
I have been with the one I am with now maybe 10 years, and I just use them.

I don't feel any loyalty to banks - banks are banks and they make more money than they deserve! We have been with our current bank for about 4 years. We joined this bank when we took out our second home loan. Prior to this bank we were with our previous one for a couple of years. I have tried several different banks over the years. We recently reassessed our home loan rate and were considering changing banks but ours came good and discounted our rate. According to my partner (He's the numbers guy, so I leave him in charge of bank negotiations!) we will be reassessing again in a few months.

I've been with my current bank fo well over thirty years. It would take a lot to get me to change and since we no longer have a mortgage I suspect there is littel difference between one bank and another.

I am still with the same bank that I joined as a teenager. I don't think it's a loyalty to them. I just really don't like paperwork!

I am very loyal, only been with one Bank...it has actually changed name a few times...

I've had close relations with a few banks. These relationships have been heavily depend on the institutions I've been employed to at specific times in my life.

I have been with my current bank for eight years now - I've had no reason to change.

Yes, I still have loyalty to it.

by donjo

Yes, but Loyalty seems one way and very little is give (if anything) for being loyal.

I started with the Commonwealth Bank, then changed over to the bank I'm with now, in May '06.

P.S. Last year, 2017, we joined up with another bank which gives us free travel insurance, if we tell them when we're going away & returning home! How good is that? We're still with our 2nd bank as well, because they have a branch in the closest suburb to us.

I have absolutely no loyalty to any Bank because I read the newspapers and I watch the TV news every evening. OMG what a shifty, disgraceful, thieving, unprincipled and totally untrustworthy lot they are. My parents would be turning in their graves.
