Worst credit card and worst bank in Australia. Please stay away from st george bank or any of their products. It was my biggest mistake to take home loan and credit card from them. I used cba, nab, ing products previously and they are 100 times better than st george.

Dealing with St George Bank today was beyond frustrating. First going to a branch and they were unable to help. Had to phone them. After waiting for one and a half hours, and being assured that everything was taken care of. Well, lo and behold, checking with my bank later, still not fixed. What has happened with customer service? These days it doesn't exist. We are forced to do as the banks tell us to do. . I'm heartily sick of being treated badly. Looks like I'll be back on the phone tomorrow, probably waiting for another one and a half hours, talking to incompetent people, who have no idea how to do their jobs.

Strongly recommend you avoid St George bank like the plague. I don't think there could be much worse service. I applied for a credit card in order to gain airline points. Nearly two weeks later I was told it was declined - no further information. After two hours on the phone to incompetent staff, and after being mysteriously hung up on twice, I learned apparently I had insufficient capacity to make payments. I living in my own house, which I have more than 50% equity in; my credit score is 872 or "Excellent"; my total basic expenses are only 62% of my full time employment income; and my minimum house payment (included in expenses) is only 16% of my income. In other words, St George have rocks in their heads.
