Written question asked by Lord Dykes (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) on Monday, 19 June 2006.
Banks: Transaction Charges
- Question
- Whether they will investigate charges levied by United Kingdom commercial banks on transfers between sterling and euro accounts in Britain and other European Union countries.
- Answer
-
The setting of charges by banks on transfers between accounts is a commercial decision for each individual bank. However, it is clearly important that consumers and businesses are aware of the charges they face for such transfers. To achieve this, the banking code requires banks to inform customers personally if charges are increased or introduced.
