Issues
The banking system under spotlight -

a web site inspired by National Australia Bank Limited.

#
Why inspired by National Australia Bank Limited?

Firstly, as Australia's largest banking network, they epitomise many of the fears, the trauma and the anger that is building towards the entire banking industry.

Secondly, because the banking sector's legal, but morally unacceptable, practices have and will cost millions of Australian families thousands of dollars in dubious costs and fees.
My family is a case in point.
In today's informed society these banking practices need to be questioned by society.

This web page:

This web page was posted on Friday the 24th January 1997, the day after National Australia Bank Limited announced record profits and an anticipated fee rise to retail clients (mums and dads) to cover "squeezed margins".

This is your web page. We want to build it around stories, your day to day experiences both good and bad with the Australian banking system and any bank within it.

There are some simple rules that apply, but everybody including the banking system itself is welcome to participate and will be given an equal voice in this web. This site is not aimed at denegrating the banking system or a bank but is aimed at making this sector accountable - an issue that an overwhelming number of Australians feel very strongly about. The information carried here is seen as being important for the public record.
