kiwibank just updated their internet banking website, and i am SOLD. i love it.

why is kiwibank totally awesome?

1) they have a debit visa (okay sure lots of others too, but they weren't late to the party like BNZ, or missing out like TSB)
2) they have a free account
3) they have a visa with no account fee (as long as you use it every three months)
4) their internet banking is awesome - has secure mail (like National Bank did), search your transaction history, and most importantly, save payees for free.

Yeah seriously, they dont charge you $2. And why should they? The convenience is so much better - dont have to memorize my brothers bank account number, and my sisters, and the family account, etc - just select from the list.

The only thing that sucks is the lack of atms. but if they ever start working on that; all every day banking: sorted.

Time to ditch your old bank and come to the dark side >:)
