Choose your Fee Plan If you re a personal customer and are likely to make a lot of ATM, EFTPOS or cheque transactions, the $10 monthly fee makes sense. When you pay $10 per month you receive a rebate of $10 worth of transactions charged at a cheaper rate. Or, if you don t make many transactions in a month, you might find it s easier to pay for your transactions as you go and pay no monthly fee. You decide. And, you can change your fee plan for the following month if you need to. Just call us.
