$2 Monthly account keeping fee

This fee is charged to offset Unicredit’s costs in providing and maintaining a personal account.

This fee is not payable if:

  • You maintain a minimum monthly loan and/or savings balance of $500 or more
  • You have been a Unicredit member for at least ten years
  • You are aged under 18 or over 65 years
  • You are a full time student in your first 12 months’ Unicredit membership

non-rediATM withdrawal & balance queries
as stated by the ATM
Bank@Post cash withdrawals ^
EFTPOS cash out at Australia Post outlets (Australia Post cost) ^
Bill Payments at Australia Post outlets (Australia Post cost) ^
$ 2.50


  • Withdrawals made from overseas Visa/PLUS* branded ATMs are charged $3.70 per transaction.
  • Transaction fees are calculated and debited to your account on the last working day of the calendar month.

ATM Access

In addition to unlimited free cash withdrawals at retailers^ with an EFTPOS purchase, Unicredit also provides members a free ATM network, right across Australia, with rediATM.

With the recent introduction of ATM direct charging, all non-rediATM costs will be passed onto members at the end of the month. Non-rediATMs (such as those owned by the banks) will recognise your card and clearly state a charge for the transaction. If you choose to proceed and accept this fee, then Unicredit will debit your transaction account by this amount, at the end of the month. Account balance may also be available on non-rediATM networks, however a fee will also be payable for this service in the same way as withdrawing cash. rediATMs will show your account balance free of charge. It is important to keep sufficient funds in your account to cover fees charged at the end of the month. Unicredit will not charge other ATM costs for your use of non-rediATMs, beyond the fee stated by the machine.

Cash withdrawals made from overseas Visa/PLUS* ATM’s and through the Visa network locally (by pressing ‘credit’) are charged at $3.70 per transaction.

^ Cash out with an EFTPOS puchase is the recommended way for members to access their funds without incurring any fees. However when using an Australia Post outlet, the post office's system treats cash withdrawals with an EFTPOS purchase as a Bank@Post withdrawal, and therefore a fee will be incurred. Bill Payments at Australia Post outlets using your Redicard are also treated as Bank@Post withdrawals and incur this cost.

 
non-rediATM Fee Waiver

Unicredit will waive ATM Direct Fees for memberships with:

Loan and Overdraft debit balance above $150,000 for the whole of the month;

Investment accounts with a minimum monthly balance greater than $250,000;

and for memberships which have a Transaction Account (On-Call Savings, Budget, Visa Access or Company Account) with a minimum monthly credit balance greater than $10,000.
