They could have stopped the transaction at point of withdrawal/sale – they do on my account now – but didn't, instead allowing it to go through and then charging for the unauthorised withdrawal. Which makes you wonder in what way it was not authorised...

Is this the 'Prescott' line of argument e.g. talk rubbish until they stop asking you questions?

They charge you for everything under the sun (no free cards here) AND have outrageous fees when you bounce a cheque. You would love French banks.

The big players are already en route to incorporate the consumer Web 2.0 feel and mindset in innovative bank2consumer offerings, which will eventually change the way we access and control our finances.
