Annoying for the inept or desperate yes, but why does everything have to be transferred into stupid APRs nowadays? Being "charged an equivalent APR of 100,000s%" is just ridiculous and meaningless hyperbole.
If you don't like the overdraft charges, don't use the overdraft... I don't like the charges thetrainline etc. put on train tickets so guess who I don't use?0 -
Santander are a useless bank anyway. All that will happen is that they will loose more customers.0

Has anyone tried calling Santander? I just gave them a call, to have a moan really - and they told me that this is not true?
They said that the only fees that are changeing are for going over your arranged overdraft fee, and that on my Premier Direct account,.t he fee will remain at 50p per day, capped at 10 days, as per last year?
Can anyone at MSE confirm/correct this? as, like usual i intend to take advantage of the nice A&L o/d of £3.4k, to pay off my mortgage, for the small fee of £5 per month.. so this is kinda crucial to figure out if this story is correct or not?0 -

My reading is your account will be capped at 20 days0 -
Premier Direct is currently 50p a day for an authorised overdraft capped at 20 days as BoGoF confirms with his link.
So currently max of £10 a month.
The news story says these fees will rise to £1 a day capped at 20 days therefore maximum will be £20 a month from March 16th.
I suspect the person you spoke to at Santander is not yet aware of the fee increase.0 -
I received this today.
