Australia's biggest bank has paused its plans to charge customers a $3 fee to withdraw their own money at bank branches around the country, a day after it was announced.

    “We feel that we didn’t get the communication right on this, and we want to take a more individual approach,” he said.

    “We tried sneaking it through, so our next approach will be to personally say fuck you to every customer” as we charge you in a few months time.

    What fucking communication is there to get right on being greedy money hungry bastards? Is the amount they earn on interest from our peasant accounts not enough to cover a few seconds of a teller manually withdrawing their money?

        Wow, a lemmy.world federation instantly?

        @[email protected] are our federation worst finally over? (I saw the announcement, I thought it’d take a while to get back to a place of instant or near instant federation)

            Oh that’s probably what’s happening, you’re right

            I feel like in the past that wasn’t a thing though

              You could be right in that in some edge cases federation has caught up, assuming that this was an edge case affected by the federation issue and not just something we hadn’t observed before.

              I crossposted an az post to lw today and I can see some comments and votes on the lw post have not federated back to az yet. I think it’s still about 5 days out.
