Banks don't want you to see this link.

Why are we allowing these banks to rip us off.
Very simple maths is involved. Remember numbers don't lie
Here are few examples that will make you really pis - - ed off. Lets direct the question to the ACCC: what are they doing about this legal rip-off
Lets use the Commonwealth Bank's official numbers (similar results from all other major banks)
In:
2008_Profit margin was 37%
2010_Profit margin 64%
2011_Profit margin 72%
.
.
2017_Profit margin 250% (this is not a mistake in calculations)
2018_Profit margin 250%
2019_Profit margin 437% (massive) and the year is not yet over. These numbers should warn us that the country is in REAL serious trouble.
The cash rate today sits at 1%, and banks are lending money out at 4, 5 or in some cases even 6% . Profit margins of 500% are not out of the question. People are just copping it and don't confront their banks. In July 2008 when cash rate was 7% and variable loan rate hit about 9.6% banks profit margin was just 37%.
Economists, stockbrokers, commentators, politicians, banks will justify this (pull wool over our eyes) by stating things like: banks need to raise funds at rates above the cash rate; China and US tariff fight is responsible; or numerous other excuses. It's all a pile of b s . It comes down to pure creed and incompetence by the Boards of these banks. If world economies come tumbling down, we will be up 'ship creek'
