So much text here, and yet so incorrect. Little fees? Lol, so uninformed. The amount of little fees for things you get charged for by banks pretty much anywhere outside of the UK is pretty crazy.

Then topped off with a "they're working on it? Well I say they're not!!!" lmao

At least try to make your post believable if you're going to lie.

    So you don't actually have any personal experience of banking anywhere else than Britain and your "even bankings is great in Great Britain" statements are nothing more than nationalistic bollocks.

    Cheers for confirming my earlier impression.

    I've banked in South Africa, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Ireland, and the UK. More if you include using British or Polish bank accounts in other countries. The banking sector in the UK is by far and away the most competitive of all those places. Fees are basically non-existent.

    You think it's nationalist to say the UK has a competitive banking sector? Lmao you are crazy. I think you're projecting there.

    I caught you blatantly lying. £30 fee for being overdrawn? That's way above the legal limit. It literally couldn't have happened. The most you will have been charged for being £5 overdrawn is the amount overdrawn with a 40% APR, for the amount of days overdrawn.

    I.e. if you were overdrawn by £5, then didn't move £5 back into your account by the end of the day, you would've been charged (5*1.4)/365=£0.02

    I tell you that in fact, just like the EU, a new payment processing system is being created, and you go straight into denialism and pretend it's not happening.

    Take your weirdly-placed xenophobia out of here. I don't know why you're lying over something so inconsequential.

    Sure mate, banking in Britain is the Greatest In The World, you being a Briton rushing to claim Britain's banking sectors is the most competitive "compared to pretty much any other country" is not at all driven by "love of the Fatherland".

    Oh, and by the way, check the law on overdraft fees a decade and a half ago before you call others liars.

    En zeker, het is absoluut gelovelijk dat je in Nederlands en Zuid-Afrika gewoont en bankiered heben.

    You're getting really weird with your whole nationalism/xenophobia angle on this.

    The banking sector in the UK is very competitive. I have no idea why that ruffles your feathers so much, why you keep lying, or what your weird obsession with nationality is.

    I don't know why you find it unbelievable. I was a citizen of South Africa. Do you think South Africa isn't real or something? In addition to the xenophobia and misinformation you're coming across as one of those redditors who argues for the sake of arguing.
