That is ridiculous! What bank was it? Last time, which was a while ago, I went to my bank to use the machine, it didn’t charge a cent. Greedy they are!

Banks! that is so frustrating and maddening at the same time!

The banks are so greedy !

You are kidding! Has the world gone mad?

I used one of these machines at the Commonwealth Bank and they didn’t charge me anything when I took the receipt to the counter and asked for notes. Maybe it was because it was under $50. Now I keep my change in a piggy bank at home, and I check it ever few weeks, and put it in money bags in amounts of $5 & $10. Then I take the bags to the bank and they weigh them. Bit rude asking to charge people for counting change, especially if a machine does it.

I turned up with coins all counted and correctly packed in those coin bags to deposit in my credit union account and they told me to empty the bags into the machine and it would give mr a receipt to take to the counter with my card to make the deposit. They charged $2.00. I am an association treasurer and deposit coins in coin bags in the association’s CUA account.They weigh the bags to confirm the amount and there was no charge last time I did this.

omg thats so terrible

Go to a current affair with that one!

i wonder if all banks do this?

omg that is terrible!
I am thankful that the bendigo bank has one of those machines, but does not charge you to deposit it into your account

Oh this is terrible. Not sure which bank but our local bendigo bank does not charge a thing. All you need is an account to deposit it into. I do love the coin counting machines.

no they charge 10% no matter how large or small the amount is. We went past and noticed they now have a sign up stating the use of the machine you will be charged 10% of your total counted. Yet they tell you to put it through there as they don’t deal with coins any more since the machine was installed

wow!!! That is horrible!! I didn’t know did this!!!

I had no idea that they charge a %, it has to be because you had so much to count. I usually take in around $50 to $100 in change to deposit into the kids accounts, fortunately they don’t charge for smaller amounts. I think maybe you need to go in more often with small amounts to avoid any charges. Surely they make enough money, absolutely ridiculous!

may be do it in smaller amounts next time to avoid the charges.

That is shocking – unbelievable! I have never been charged for depositing coins.

Oh my gosh that’s absolutely criminal! I’ve never heard of a bank doing that! It’s disgusting how they can get away with things like that!

Wow i have never heard of banks charging for changing up coins, my daughter always saves up change that she finds about the house and the bank she’s with always takes it and just puts it into her account which she can access via her bank card.

And the Banks all make so much profit from all our bank fees shame on them

That is appalling – I would have done the same as you. Cant help but just shake my head :/
