What do you expect from a nationalised bank?

It was ok before that but the first time that happened to me i linked it through PP been fine sincr
Yeah, I normally PayPal my stuff here. Definitely going back to it. They only charge £0.10-£0.15 on stuff here.
I use paypal all be it they have a small exchange charge but nothing like that

Banks dont give a shit about us all they want is their huge mega bonus.
I always use Paypal these days even when paying via CC. Just so much easier than letting banks tack on hidden charges, etc.
Yeah. They're being forced to do away with charges on being overdrawn, here, too. About time.

Charging people (in some reported cases) over £50 for being accidentally overdrawn by a few pennies.

Ridiculous!
I get a charge of a £1 on anything from GOG with Lloyds debit card. I use my credit card now instead, no charges. I use the Lloyds one with Gamersgate and Steam and dont get charged though.
Nationwide don't charge a foreign transaction fee, and generally are pretty good for fees when using the card abroad etc.

Let's be assured that they value you. After all, you (we) saved their skin, you (we) will pay for it again and again through taxes, reduction in our living conditions, inflation and every other measure of fiscal repression that our benevolent lords and masters will see fit and you (we) will be there again when the system explodes again in a few years time. So, yes, they value you. So much that they would sell you (us) if they could

like being charged 12,52€ for being under 0 on my current account by 3,7€ between 8:00 am ( time at which an automatic invoice was recorded ) and 9:00 am (time at which my salary was recorded ) ?

"nothing we can do, sir, it's automatic "; "12,48 is the minimum fee, and the interest due is 0,03. " ; "if you want to avoid this in the future, you can suscribe to a permanent reserve facility, that will only cost you 15 € a year "

I do not believe that this kind of thing is accidental by the way. Recording expenses at 8:00 and incomes at 9:00 is , at best, suspicious
