Yeah, same here. My savings and credit card are still with CBA, but the other two are Westpac and ANZ!

I went from doing all my banking with the Commonwealth to now, where I have four different banks for my savings, extrasavings, credit card and broking!

Wow! I just did the same thing two weeks ago. I went in for the ‘last time’ to a Commonwealth Bank, and told the lady that I’m closing my account. She exclaimed that ‘Wow! My account number’s so short!’ Apparently I had it for a loong time (I opened it in Year 5 as a dollarmite account). I was a little sad at her taking my ATM card and cutting it in half – it had been a regular part of my wallet through high school till now.

What a coincidence, I’m already planning the same thing Though I haven’t decided on a bank yet.

I’m disappointed in the dollarmites’ change. Those wacky aliens were my earliest pleasant financial memory (though, even with their help, I only saved up about $6 in my childhood bank account).

Hey, yeah, I remember Dollarmites to be aliens, too.

And I don’t remember them having pun-y bank-y names.
