AIB has made big play of a change it plans on the fees it charges personal customers. “These changes are in keeping with AIB’s commitment to put our customers first, and are being introduced on foot of customer research and feedback, and will result in a reduction of c12 per cent in customer fees on average. The majority of customers who pay fees will pay less than they pay now,” the bank said. At present, AIB customers pay fees of €18 per annum and then choose what other fees they pay by their usage of direct debits, ATMs and other services. Ahh yes, but what about the savings on the 20 cent charge every time you use your debit card in a store or a pub?
