We’ve abolished overdrawn fees
Now effective September 1 2009
You will no longer be charged an overdrawn fee on your everyday personal transaction or savings account. There are no disclaimers, we won't go back on this decision or try and recoup these fees somewhere else.
We made this change because the way you use money has changed. With funds constantly moving in and out of your accounts and payday often falling on a different day of the month, it is easy to temporarily overdraw your account. By getting rid of these fees we hope to build stronger relationships with you and help you to do more with your money.
For a list of accounts benefiting from this change simply,
Below is a quick reference table that will help you understand what this means to your everyday banking.
