No fees unless you go over agreed overdraft limit which is fair enough. The online banking system is pretty good too - nice and easy to use plus you can hold the majority of your money in their 'high interest' e-savings account and move it over to your flex account (the one your debit card is for) instantly which means you are earning decent money on your lump sum savings and it also helps you to control your spending a bit more as you can just put across what you need when you need it. | Number of Users: 3 | Number of Posts: 4 | ||||||||||||
