Greater value for National Choice Package customers with new wealth management services - 9 August 2001

Thursday, 9 August 2001

A range of wealth management services have now been added to the National's Choice Package, making it an ideal solution for those looking to consolidate all their financial needs with the one provider.

From 20 August 2001, existing National Choice Package customers (previously called Professional's Choice) will receive preferential rates for online and telephone share trading, online funds management and margin lending facilities.

Other existing benefits continue with the revised package, including preferential interest rates on home loans, residential investment loans and term deposits. For an annual fee of $375, customers also enjoy fee reductions for life and general insurance policies, National Gold Card, personal loans and effectively free day to day banking.

"There can be considerable savings to be gained from consolidating your financial needs with the one provider through a package like National Choice and over 40% of our home loan customers now choose this option," said Ken Hodgson, the National's General Manager, Personal Financial Services.

Choice Package customers will also be able to assess the benefits of their package with the use of interactive tools, coming soon to the National's web site at www.nab.com.au.

To be eligible* for a National Choice Package, customers must have at least $150,000 in borrowings with the National. (*Other terms and conditions apply.)
