/24-7PressRelease/ -- Leading industry expert, Gary Miller-Cheevers, is backing calls for action over "complicated and exorbitant bank overdraft charges" following a report* which highlighted how customers using unauthorised overdrafts found it impossible to calculate and to compare charges between banks, due to complicated fee structures.
Mr. Miller-Cheevers, who is also CEO at
payday loans company speedeloans, says: "According to the report, not even a Maths PhD student was able to correctly calculate the charges and fees related to an unauthorised overdraft with four different banks.
"I have long been a supporter of fair and transparent charging. Borrowing money shouldn't be rocket science, consumers should be able to easily see what credit will cost.
"With our service, customers can easily see how much the total borrowing will cost them in pounds, meaning they can make an educated decision as to the affordability, as well as allowing them to compare the cost with other lenders, easily."
According to the Which? study, many banks have expensive daily fees with one bank (RBS) charging GBP6 a day (equivalent to an APR of 2,190%) on a GBP100 unauthorised overdraft.
