Bank Charges Increase for Customers

Researchers are predicting that the Australian banks will collect more than $5 billion in fees in the coming year as they aim to survive the global economic crisis.

Fujistu Consulting who conduct an annual ‘bank fee’ report have found that Australian households on average pay 22 per cent more in bank fees than British households, and 11 per cent more than those in the US. What this essentially means is that the average Australian household pays close to AU$1000 in fees each year, compared to AU$749 in the UK and AU$850 in the US.

In the context of the current global financial services crisis, banks are attempting to recoup profits by increasing fees.
