Do all PBA’s charge a fee which is monthly?
All packaged bank accounts or PBA’s charge a monthly fee. The account itself is likely to have a variety of financial inducements attached to justify this monthly cost. The benefits package will contain elements such as travel insurance, car breakdown cover and reduced interest rates on loans other forms of borrowing. The accounts themselves are not necessarily bad they just have to be appropriate for an individual’s needs. The bank should have established whether the benefits package was of benefit to its client. If it was not or areas were duplicated or not beneficial then there is a good chance that it was mis-sold.
