Commonwealth Bank Lowers Rate Cap To $15K
Commonwealth Bank & Trust Company (0 stars) - DetailsI just received a letter in the mail today from Commonwealth Bank informing me that effective Feb 4, the Extreme Checking account will have a tier structure from .01 to $15000 and $15000.01+. The rate for Tier 1 balances will continue to be 3.25%, but there's no mention in the letter what the Tier 2 balance will be, so I'm betting it's not good.
They also included a letter with qualification dates for each month of 2011. The cycles will continue to close on the 16th each month, but debits must be fully posted to the account sometimes as early as the 13th, depending on the month, due to holidays and weekends. This means that purchases should be completed by at the 10th at the latest to allow time for processing.

The website now shows the $15k cap. I'm assuming that it is effective immediately for new account, but not until February 4th for current account holders who are getting the letter.
