Banking Reform - more charges!?
About:
The banking report from Sir John Vickers and the ICB didn't stop at demanding banks break up their retail and investment arms to protect us from their "gambling" failures. It also looks at changing the way banks charge us for their products.

Can we expect them to bleed us dry by charging for other banking services like current accounts....
