😎 Останні нововведення від мого банку, з яким я останні 15 років – за зняття готівки з рідних банкоматів – комісія:)
Це було років 10 тому, коли брали комісію, згодом відмінили, бо це відлякувало клієнтів, й зараз певно наскільки все добре в цього банку, що знову ввели.

In 2023, the largest #Western#banks still operating in #Russia paid taxes that were four times the amount they paid before the full-scale invasion. This is due partly to international #sanctions on Russian banks.
#Interestrates on #debt include a substantial element that prices in the risk of default. So a higher interest rate indicates a judgement about your propensity to repay the loan.

I was today years old when I found out my bank had changed my account's terms so if I use debit more than 12x a month, they ding me $1.75 per transaction.
They also bumped the minimum balance for no fees to $3K in the account at all times.

Also my bank feels justified and ethical hitting me with a $1.75 surcharge on the $2.79 one litre of milk I bought this morning.
