Terrible bank charges

<p>I have to say I thought ABSA was changing for the better when the new packages came on board, but I think the more things change the more they stay the same. How does a person with a cheque account and credit card pay in excess of R600 plus collectively on charges..? I am particularly upset with this new charge of R55 from the onset for an immediate payment what for...? I was not aware of such a charge until I checked my cost billing report I have always used immidiate payment over the past 5 years when making electronic transfers as it much better than waiting 24-72 for it to clear and have never ever been charge R55 per transaction, now i made about 5 of these without know this new charge which amounted to R275...? This is nonsense how you just from R14 for the first R100 TO R55...? Is this even legal...? How do you justify this increase...? and I see FNB has made theirs R46.., this is price fixing at its best when one increases the others also follow to just below so as to give a defence that it is inline with other banks this is ******* nonsense and thats why all the so called big 4 are loosing to capitec. I think i will be jumping ship soon also nonsense this .....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
