Pre-paid airtime top-up fee

Standard Bank has started to charge a fee of R1.10 per pre-paid recharge on my pay-as-you-go access account. <br> I queried this via email and was told that pre-paid transactions now incur a fee. At NO STAGE was I informed of any price increase, neither can I find it on any online pricing brochure.<br> It is terribly disgusting to <br> 1) Charge an exceptionally high fee for a basic entry level banking account where the account holder is typically avoiding costs<br> 2) Implement a fee without so much as an advance warning. <br> Shame on you Standard Bank, you are truly pathetic, and I will be investigating a move to another bank which has clear, transparent pricing and does not unduly force costs upon customers.
