    When I first lived in Japan, I was surprised to get a charge of a few hundred yen for each ATM transaction. However, you could take out 1 million yen (approx. $10k if I remember correctly) at one time.

    Since we seem to be heading the way of Japan in terms of interest rates and possibly deflation, I would not be surprised to see this implemented in the UK.

    It's always a great time to lose customers that cost more money than they bring in.
