Bank of the Year 2012
By Money Team
Our end of financial year issue would not be complete without the inclusion of our Consumer Finance Awards.
There were no consecutive wins in the big three categories this year: Bank of the Year 2012, Credit Union of the Year and Building Society of the Year.
This reinforces the notion that you should never just assume that you are banking with the best.
Consumer satisfaction also played a big part in these categories, with Money for the first time teaming with Roy Morgan research.
Products, features and pricing all change, so don't become complacent.
Other hotly contested categories include Home Lender of the Year, Money Minder of the Year and Credit Card Issuer of the Year.
