Title: Bank account
Post by: Groundhog on March 13, 2026, 09:51:51
Hello all.
I hold the position of treasurer on our allotment society committee.
Recently our bank has introduced a monthly charge. As we are a small society I would rather not to have to pay this.
Is there a bank that doesn't charge fees?
Thanks in anticipation.
