I needed a paper statement from my bank and they said it was £5 to print it! Why are bank fees so high? I know I could print it myself if I went onto online banking but I feel that asking as much as that for them to print it in a branch is a bit ridiculous!

Expensive, too expensive. We get charged too but not as bad as that. However we did have to find a decent Bank beforehand as some are charging what they want.

@lovinangelsinstead21 you should discuss it with them , find out why and tell them you might just get another bank that doesn't do that

For a while they charged us for this and that. But now they charge us quite large amounts all of a sudden. I would rather them take it out in bits and pieces like they did before as we are not rich.

it sure is and seems some banks are out to take every penny of your little bit of money. every other bank i have dealt with except Chase has ripped me off and mishandled my money. i stay with chase now as they know how to treat a client. they printed a statment for me and didn't charge. they got back money for me a company charged me without my say so. covered the over draw for nothing, etc.

I would find a new bank or print it myself from my online account. It is a bit ridiculous.

Bank in Trinidad is just as disgusting. Every thing is a fee and a cost. But that's how they are...they answer to no one. We have been wondering why banks don't provide public toilets too?

@redurnet Yes, the make billions of dollars in profit each year. I have been reading some of the comments below...you get one monthly statement free then every thing after you have to pay.

They try to make any money possible.

Is it something you can print from your printer? Our bank will charge if we go there and ask for something. If we do it from home, it is free.

We have all kind of ridiculous bank fees here in Riga, Latvia. So when our online bank said that my hubby could have his debit card renewed for no charge just by letting them send it by mail even though I don't understand the logic we agreed otherwise they would take off a fee from his account. Go figure. You should definitely print it out yourself it you can.

They could claim it's to try and encourage everyone to go paperless but they're quite happy to send out letters themselves, including endless circulars for other accounts that are of little interest (in more ways than one!)
