I am aware of changes coming to overdraft charges, which means basically your bank wont be able to charge you a fee. Currently my bank rbs charges me £6 per month, but on checking with my bank, they couldn't help me
The reply I got, was
Most banks have made there customers aware what the changes will be, and one other bank Im with, starling bank, will have 3 types of interest rates; 15% 25% 35%, and these compared to others are the cheapest I have seen. Looks like some banks will set the interest rate at 49%
The reply I got, was
I am unable to locate any notification regarding the changes in Arranged Overdraft Usage Fee. I can confirm that you will receive a pre-notification if there would be any changes regarding the same.

There are two choices:
Live within your means, or
Use the banks money and pay what they decide their overdraft fees should be.
I know what I will do, learn to live within my means.0 -

If you will be debt free from the end of December as you claim then you won't be using the overdraft facility will you so I really don't see the pressing concern.0 -

They will in due time.
Variation of terms is usually 90 days. So plenty of time yet.
And to let anyone know what it's going to be prior to them announcing their rate is very sensitive information.Life in the slow lane0
