Bank Charges
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2025 12:28 pm
Hello
Im the chair of the Buckingham branch and we have been using Lloyds Bank for our club account for many years.
In April they have started to charge £5 a month for the use of the account. Now being a small branch we don't have more than £1000 in the account so £60 a year in fees is quite a bit.
I have looked at the CO-OP, but we don't qualify for there community account as we are not a Charity of a registered company.
I also checked out Metro Bank - but they are going to start charging £3 a month from December.
Does anyone else have this issue and if so were you able to mitigate the service costs
Regards
Ian
