Bank Charges- Direct Action

Lets start ending bank charges now.
Instead of standing around waiting for the courts to end them, let’s change the banks with the power of our wallet.
Start with the easy bank... Nationwide building society is a building society, which means its customers... YOU... can decide how it is run. Instead of faffing around with court actions lets start hitting the banks where it hurts...

This is a call to action.

How to end bank charges at nation wide building society
=========================================
* Open an account with nation wide building society
* Become a member of the building society
* Vote for candidates to change the charge structure, so nationwide only charges what a default really costs!

If you are already a member
===========================
Use your authority as a member! Vote only for candidates who are anti-charge.

So few people actually vote at AGMs that YOUR vote really matters. It does not take a lot to make one of the big 8 chargers actually charge a fair amount for late payments. stop the most vulnerable people in society from suffering. Do something good - VOTE!

And join our facebook campaign – end Bank Charges the democratic way!
