AUSTRALIA'S four largest banks have scrapped cash withdrawal charges for all users, as the banking industry tries to salvage its reputation after a series of scandals.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the nation's biggest lender, said on Sunday that it would immediately remove the A$2 (S$2.16) fee for all users of its 3,400 branded automated teller machines (ATMs) across the country. Westpac Banking Corp and National Australia Bank Ltd followed hours later, while Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd said that it would halt the charge from early October.
